Socialism is worker's control of the means of production. I don't see democratic councils of workers making these decisions. This is Leninist style "socialism" from above, ie., state capitalism and democratic centralism intermingled. Not socialism.

Many socialists are critical of Leninist style socialism because it's not representative of socialism and it tarnishes the name.
