Vanguard party

A vanguard party is the leading force of the working class, i.e., the Communist Party. Vladimir Lenin wroted, “a vanguard performs its task as vanguard only when it is able to lead the mass forward. Without an alliance with non-Communists in the most varied sphere of activity there can be no question of any successful Communist constructive work.” He also wrote that “the role of vanguard can be fulfilled only by a party that is guided by an advanced theory”.
