A broad tendency group as well as group for discussion of democratic centralist organizational structures and methods.
For Leninists, left communists, and any other communists who believe in a vanguard (or otherwise political) party democratically run and operated by the membership of the party in which all administrative and representative positions are elected from top to bottom.
Through putting each or most party policies to a plebiscite or referendum vote among the party electorate, the will of the majority of the party is represented and carried out.
The task of a democratic centralist organizational structure is to achieve, as Lenin put it, "freedom of discussion, unity of action." This means that we work toward achieving the highest democratic standard of decision making possible while also maintaining a standard of unity within the party.
We understand that, while we may disagree with the specifics, not every organization that has ever called itself a democratic centralist body was run in such a manner, especially in the case of organizations that managed certain state apparatuses.
