Swedish Anarcho-syndicalist Youth Federation, (Syndikalistiska Ungdomsförbundet, SUF) was founded in 1993, and has some of its roots in the young militant autonomous movement that began to grow throughout Scandinavia in the early nineties. Inspiration also came from the anarcho-syndicalist trade union Central Organisation of the Workers of Sweden. From just three groups in 1993 it grew rapidly and today it is a nation-wide federation made up of around 25 local groups throughout the entire country, and several committees active within the federation. They publish a magazine called Direkt Aktion and a monthly internal paper called Storm.

SUF is, in contrast to its anarcho-syndicalist beliefs, not a union. Their idea of anarcho-syndicalism expands beyond the daily labour union activity, and claims that in a global community where capitalist relations have expanded into all parts of society, a broader movement and a broader definition of class struggle is needed. Thus, they believe it is necessary to confront capitalism not only in workplaces, but also in schools, universities, local communities, etc.

SUF has been heavily criticised for engaging in sabotage and violence as means to further their political aims, and encouraging people to commit illegal acts.
