>>508665686 (OP)Marxist leninists in general support the idea of a Vanguard party, of protecting the revolution against reactionary retards.
This is why socialism always must be authoritarian because it absolutely must guide the masses specifically against the propaganda of capitalists and their allies.
This is absolutely critical for any revolutionary or even radical ideology. Imagine you get your national socialist state, then get a bunch of conservative scum suckers come in claiming they were always on your side. No, die.
So of course every socialist wants to be a part of the ruling class, because if they were successful they would be just by default.
