Well, sure, but Lenin elaborated it in a far more detailed way. Plus, he carried it out.
http://www.revleft.com/vb/showpost.p...4&postcount=42 The vanguard party is not Leninist in it's origin. He gets it from Kautsky and the whole idea comes from the Communist Manifesto(where Marx/Engels state that the communists are the most conscious and militant section of the proletariat and the one that pushes the rest of the proletariat pushes the proletariat forward, and is the only part of the proletariat that clearly sees the conditions and results of the proletarian movement - i.e communists are the vanguard of the proletariat). Do not be fooled by the fabrications of the Stalinists and Anarchists.
