RSU Theory: Leninism and the Vanguard Party Q&A [1/4]

[agapeiron]

It should also be said that off-camera Leninist douche bag's explanation of the critique of vanguardism from the left communist perspective ignores the general libertarian approach-- That "iron discipline" of vanguardist dictatorship with one-man management is a toxic cocktail that does not result in anything resembling socialism, i.e. common ownership of the means of production. Rather, workers' control becomes party control; workers' self-management becomes commissarocracy.

Isolating "uprisings" in the abstract ("just happen") from working class movements is absurd. The anarchist approach, for example, has its own strategy of "horizontal" free association and federalism, all part of a broad, working class movement. The Leninist critique of "spontaneism" is so immersed in its own One Party State-Bureaucracy/Iron Discipline hubris that it fails to grasp its actual critics.
