Developed by Daniel De Leon, Marxism-Deleonism is a form of Marxism.

De Leon combined the rising theories of Syndicalism in his time with orthodox Marxism. According to DeLeonist theory, militant Industrial Unions are the vehicle of class struggle. Industrial Unions serving the interests of the "proletariat" (working class) will bring about the change needed to establish a socialist system. How this differs from Anarcho-Syndicalism is that, according to DeLeonist thinking, a revolutionary political party is also necessary to fight for the proletariat on the political field.

De Leonism lies outside the Leninist tradition of communism.
