Well that was probably a smart choice, if I do say so myself, and quite open minded.

I have no idea, lol.
Well, violent counter-revolutionaries trying to overthrow the proletariat dictatorship should be crushed outright. As far as people who are against the revolution but don't fight it, etc. then nothing should be done to them. As far as the remaining remnants bourgeoisie go, they would be naturally excluded from the decision-making process because of the way the soviets and party would operate.
Yea that's the thing. How will the party fight the ones opposed to the revolution. If it harms them they will be remembered. Is it possible to make all people of the world like the revolution without anyone rebelling. Its highly unlikely. There will be always someone causing problems. What do you think how are these people to be dealt with.
Well, in Egypt they didn't really "bring down the government" but instead transferred the power to the military. Anyway, I think the necessity of a vanguard party comes to fight off immediatist and workerist tendencies that develop or exist within factory councils and trade unions. A restrictive vanguard party can overcome these pitfalls, as Bordiga notes.
I support the conception of a vanguard party. I am also a Leninist. That is the main one. I am not a council communist anymore. I am a left communist, part of mainly the Bordigist tendency within left communism. I am still opposed to Stalinism, working within bourgeois trade unions and parliaments, and other things.
