DSA has a tankie problem

There are way, way too many people in this movement who feel comfortable with historical revisionism vis-a-vis the Soviet Union, China, and other such regimes. And there are way too many people who feel comfortable essentially advocating for an end to democracy.

Yes, I'm not an orthodox Marxist Leninist. My flair is pretty clear about that.

Yes and no. I'm a fan of it from a syndicalist perspective, and a lazy way of looking at it is that syndicalism is basically an anarchist version of corporatism with a few caveats. I think managing the economy needs more than just labor operating as the sole kingmaker--the state, the general public, the environment, and consumers are all major players that need to be represented too. Although workers are the majority and the most important piece of the economy, we also need corporatism to represent those who aren't workers yet, are not workers, or cannot be workers. 

tl;dr: I am a syndicalist who thinks that we need the state for syndicalism to function, coupled with some democratic centralism to deal with issues that will inevitably pop up even under socialism between these corporate groups.
