Spanish term or phrase: filosindicalismo
I encountered this term in an opinion piece on the U.S. election, etc., in a Mexican publication. I'm somewhat familiar with syndicalism over the past century or two, but I have been unable to find anything helpful for "filosindicalismo."
Here's the paragraph in which it occurs:
"Pero es que, aparte, tampoco creo que ponerse en plan realpolitik sea muy inteligente. ¿De veras creen que el nuevo TLC está más a salvo con la volatilidad patriotera de Trump que con el aparente ***filosindicalismo*** de Biden? ¿En serio piensan que hay una conexión entre nuestro presidente y el Agente Naranja, que no tiene conexión con nadie más que consigo mismo y que te palmea la cabeza exactamente hasta el momento en que te le dejas de cuadrar un segundito?"
The only thing I came up with was, working off the basic meaning of "filo" = "edge" or "brink," that maybe the meaning is "on the verge of syndicalism," or perhaps "almost-syndicalism."
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

En un artículo de un periódico mejicano de noviembre del 2020 se compara una volatilidad patriota del presidente antiguo de Estados Unidos con un filosindicalismo del nuevo presidente. El artículo explica porque hay el cambio de presidente en Estados Unidos, y que un turno hacia la democracia puede ser algo positivo, aunque es temprano.

[In an article from a Mexican newspaper, November 2020, national uncertainty which was heightened during the last U.S. presidency is compared with the new president's ideology. The article explains why there was a change in presidency in the United States , and that a turn in favour of democracy should be positive, though it's early yet.]
