What makes you think this way?
No its because this person is lying. They dont honestly believe in a worker run democracy. Its just a palatable phrase they use to appear less extreme.
They support a political class with total control benevolently dishing out to the working population.

Nope, not what I believe at all, and the fact that you have to invent my beliefs proves you can’t actually argue against my real ones.

1 search for “vanguard” returns several comments of you supporting a vanguard party. That is not “worker run” or democratic. So why lie and pretend you support democracy or workers?

Vanguards are both worker run and democratic. Vanguards are a subsection of the working classes, not a class of their own or outside class struggle, and are both democratic internally, as well as establishing systems of democracy externally. I’m really not sure where you’re getting the idea that believing the working class needs to be organized for revolution means democracy is suddenly off the table.
For example, in the USSR, first-hand accounts from Statesian journalist Anna Louise Strong in her book This Soviet World describe soviet elections and factory councils in action. Statesian Pat Sloan even wrote Soviet Democracy to describe in detail the system the soviets had built for curious Statesians to read about. Today we have Professor Roland Boer’s Socialism in Power: On the History and Theory of Socialist Governance to reference for other socialist countries, with their own forms of democracy.
So again, why lie about what I believe? I’m not responsible for you not knowing what a vanguard is or how socialist democracy works.

Vanguard parties are not working class how could they be. Are you going to have a vanguard party of steel workers running your country no that would be stupid. They are educated elites your comment explaining that so dont act like its wrong.
