After all, the history of the 20th century is the history of social revolutions.

On the contrary, history generally confirms that the more conscious and the better you are organized in vanguard organizations, the more constructively you operate in the mass organizations of the working class.

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.

Workers do not strike every day, they cannot do that the way they function in the capitalist economy. The way they have to live by selling their labor power makes that impossible.

And you cannot have a socialist revolution commandeered from the top, ordered around by some omniscient leader or group of leaders.

There is a process of social and of political differentiation going on in the real working class all the time.
