The Vanguard Party

What is a vanguard party?

A Party is an organisation aspiring to administer public political power on behalf of a social class (even though it may enjoy support in only a part of that class).

Any social formation, be it a pressure group, social movement, trade union, political party or whatever, in one way or another reflects the interests of specific social strata. However, political parties, bear a very specific relation to social classes because a political party is either the government party, or a “government-in-waiting”, and a government, by administering a state, either overtly defends the interest of the ruling social class (even if specifically defending interests of a sub-class), or seeks to replace it with that of another class. A party which does not aspire to administer public political power, is not really a party at all.

well the vanguard party concept was demonized during the USSR days. But look at the two that we have in the US. They are vanguard parties. They control everything, just like the old Communist party of the USSR. All issues are either Repub or Dem issues, never is it an issue of the people. They dictate to the voter what it is they will vote on. That is just as controlling as anything the Communist party of the USSR ever did.
