In a socialist system of government where the Communist Party acts as the main social institution (the Big Cheese of the country, if you will), would there be other like-minded socialist parties who would either work cooperatively on a common cause in a "vanguard coalition" (like China or the DPRK) or would they compete a lot like a bourgeois liberal system?

or would they compete a lot like a bourgeois liberal system?

The problem with this is that replicating the way the bourgeois liberal system works makes space for bourgeois liberal parties as well. Therefore, I would argue against this approach, at least while the international and national bourgeoisie still exist or have the potential to reform.
