As an independent democratic socialist I have taken a stand for socialism for most of my fairly long life.I still give critical support to Left wing groups that mostly speak truth to the masses.But for a number of reasons self appointed Marxist vanguard parties have had a dismal record of growth for more than a century. The average working class person does not need to be told that he or she is exploited or oppressed.But PARTY people have been singularly lacking in emotional intelligence no matter how sharp their dialectical logic.Ordinary decent working class people are turned off by militant socialists who comes across as stiff TRUE BELIEVER types or like those scary " Clears" in the Church of Scientology. How many individuals of immense integrity have been expelled from personality cult ,self appointed Marxist vanguard party organizations? That is why they will remain pathetic little sects hostile to every other Marxist vanguard party. But again most of them have my critical support.Hopefull not stagnant for another century!
