Vanguard contradictions

[4th supporter]

I personally believe in a vanguard party to guide and lead the working class, but i also believe that upon successive revolution should dissolve for a more proletarian government set up, Does anyone agree with me?( yes it because im a damn pessimist and believe that a vanguard state can become oppressive)

I don't really understand what you're saying. Do you think the party should be dissolved the moment it comes to power? If you think a vanguard is needed to lead the working class to power, how could it not be needed for the much more difficult task of fending off reaction afterwards?

Of course any single state in which socialism is created can and will become oppressive. That is why socialism in one country is impossible, and the revolution must spread to other countries if it is to survive. This doesn't mean that the proletarian vanguard's leadership isn't important - on the contrary, it means that this leadership must be energetically built everywhere.
