Pretty sure that comment was in reference to syndicalism - a theory of government where worker-controlled unions would have leverage over laws that relate to their domain... But that hasn't been a relevant system of anything since Revolutionary Catalonia was a thing in the 1930s. (disclaimer, I actually love syndicalism as a concept. In an ideal world, syndicalism could ensure that naive and bought-out politicians wouldn't be able to arbitrarily outlaw encryption - because laws which relate to technology would be in the domain of people who actually work on technology. But like so many systems that sound nice in an ideal world - getting there and making it non-corrupt would be no minor feat).
