Ernest Mandel Vanguard Quotations

Coming out of all these basic conceptual distinctions we can conclude the necessity of a vanguard formation nearly immediately.

The real notion is that of the fusion in real life between this vanguard layer of the working class, the real leaders of real struggles of workers at factory and neighborhood levels, of woman's struggles, of youth struggles, of national minority struggles, and the political vanguard organization.

Furthermore, there is absolutely no contradiction between the separate organizations of revolutionary vanguard militants and their participation in the mass organizations of the working class.

A vanguard organization is something which is permanent. A vanguard party has to be constructed, has to be built through a long process.
