Corporatism and syndicalism, which one is true?
At the level of the consumer, there is no greater truth than corporatism. At the level of the echelon of the hierarchy of socioeconomic control theory, syndicalism seems to dominate.
In the US, the pharmaceutical, energy, and agricultural, along with banking interests of the US are governed inherently by a corporate syndicalist system. Some intellectuals call it welfare for the rich or a form of corporate welfare system which satisfies the highest earners of the group.
Marx would have said that after capitalism, there is a need for socialism. Yet, by the way things govern themselves in the US, China, and Europe, it would seem that the emerging groups of capitalism would prefer or instill a socioeconomic theory of corporate syndicalism among the managers of society.
So, what do you think about this situation in the economy? Does syndicalism only make sense from the top instead of the bottom, where the workers are disabled from enacting laws for themselves?

First: things do not govern themselves; they are governed, forced or neglected by human agencies.
Second: what the hell is corporate syndicalism? I have the definition of syndicalism as trade-union oriented and one of national syndicalism as something similar, organized by central control. I have no idea how the second one works.
In any case, the basic idea of co-operation and participation cannot be 'top-down' or bottom-up; it can only work on a single level: equality. Capitalism does not promote equality. The two concepts are incompatible.
