The vanguardist stuff is a dead end cos it's just another version of the politican mantra of 'I have all the answers, put me in power'. The idea that *anyone* has it all sussed and all we have to do is centralise our power with them is nonsense.

No governmental system can be fair or just if the people who take decisions don't have to live with the consequences; the flip side of that coin is no system can be fair if those who live with the consequences don't have full and direct influence on the decision-making process.

So, whether it be Labour, Tory or SWP, anyone saying 'we know how to sort it out for you, hand your power to us' is either a power-hungry fraud or - at best - well-meaning but with a total lack of understanding of the effect of power.
