Résumé
Sabotage is a tactic that was theorized by the French anarchist Émile Pouget and adopted by the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) in 1897. This method attracted the attention of the American press, before being adopted by the syndicalists of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). A genuine transnational concept, sabotage is above all a principle that generates extremely varied practices, depending on national contexts. In the United States, its foreign origins were used by the press and then by the authorities to stigmatize revolutionary unionism and, in the context of World War One, to suppress it.
