The second revolution during 1917, in which Lenin and his vanguard party seized power for the proletariat, believing that they were not capable of such an act, caused historians abroad to analyze this very scenario. This has open some debate for whether or not the taking of the power that laid in the streets was truly a revolution or if it was the seizure of power in the night for a new order and not that of the proletariat. This context is merely a setup for my next couple of questions, as per usual.
1. Do you believe that Lenin's Revolution was true or more so a Coup D'etat for his new "Vanguard" order?
2. Can a Vanguard Party truly take hold of power in any regime and hand it off to the people? How would it do that?
3. Is it possible for something other than a Vanguard party to seize power, and could that have changed the outcome?
4. Could a Vanguard party ever work?
