Hello. I am trying to form a better understanding of the vanguard party and the party-form so I can learn why it is a good form of organization for the working class, how it compares to the alternatives, how it is internally organized, how it compares to bourgeois parties, and so on. Works with a broader scope are preferred. I have already read What is to Be Done? which is usually considered the main work on the party, so I will need other recommendations.
I would also love to see more on the party front since it is hard to identify left and right deviationist tendencies and proper praxis.
I liked left communism by lenin which did help what to look for. Socialism for all has it as an audio book too.
That’s one I plan on reading, though I am working on finishing volume I of Capital first so I am focusing on shorter works for now.
