       @Radical_EgoCom If only...The vanguard party is just another capitalist class.  The biggest mistake Marx made was to assume that they would willingly give away their position of power and wealth. That's how you get Stalinism. Any top-down approach like Marxism-Leninism hinges on the assumed benevolence of those who end up at the top of the system. Anarchism has its own problems but at least it's not self-defeating.

       @Radical_EgoCom It perfectly fits Marx's own definition of a capitalist class. If we assume that benevolent people will establish communism, even if doing so goes against their own class interests, then the same would apply to capitalism as well. Yet evidently this is not happening.

       @Radical_EgoCom First paragraph I agree on. My point is that the same applies to the vanguard party. The cosmetics of it are obviously different, but both have it in their self-interest to perpetuate the current status quo. You claim that the party would go on to fulfill its intended goals, but what incentive does it or anyone within it have to do so? Mere sentimental attachments towards ideology won't cut it.Your wording in the second paragraph seems to agree thatsome  class contradicts would exist between the workers and the party initially when the party is established. History has shown that instead of those kinks getting ironed out, they'll just grow over time.
