    The vanguard is the formalized segment of the working class that has trained in revolutionary theory and practice, and which has been trusted by the rest of the working class as the spearhead of the revolution. The vanguard is not over the working class, but is merely a segment of it, and as such are usually mass organizations with huge numbers of members.

    What you’re saying is similar to saying the Union is above the workers and doesn’t trust the workers to advocate for better pay, benefits, and working conditions.
