It seems to me that our contemporary anti-statist American leftists are not into building an organization. Building a union of 45,000 members would probably violate the American spirit of decentralization. :) The anarchist current that has been influential in Europe is anarcho-syndicalism (to which the CGT, the CNT, etc. belong). Anarcho-syndicalism probably is a little too disciplined & organized to appeal to anti-statist sentiments of American leftists (including American anarchists) today.
