You have to have leaders and then do everything in your power to not let them succumb to vanguardism.
I also lean more in to an anarchist style of leadership, but decing everything by quorum can paralyze movements or leave them without a clear message.
The largest armed force in the gaza strip is deeply religious and the entire reason the support they receive from their biggest ally, the IRR, is religion. If Hamas were Sunni muslims instead of Shia, Iran would remain silent. Just as they were, when their Shia allies in Syria and Yemen started to massacre non-Shia in the region.
Mondoweiss is using the same kind of euphemisms around the 7.10 that the rest of the press is using for Israels crimes.

Take a hard Look at your partner, this is the best you’ll ever get. Dont fuck it up. Listen to them and go to fucking therapy.
As long as I and only I get to define that term, yes.
“The Vanguard” as you describe it was an ideological justification to describe any and all criticism of the ruling class (and yes, to me, the upper echelons of the USSR were a ruling class) as counterrevolutionary. “The most advanced of the working class” shredded the countries military leader shit on the eve of the second world war not because of existing coups, but out of paranoia. “The vanguard” in the end served only to preserve their own interests.
“The people elected SRs or did not vote majority Bolshevik? What do they know, we are the vanguard, we know whats best, lets ignore the elections and abolish the soviets.”
Thats why i dislike the concept of the Vanguard. Because never turned out the way it was promised and it never will.
