It happens far too often, certainly true.

In the defense of leftists, though, I feel obligated to point out that this is a very commonly cited example of why 'Vanguard' parties made up of small groups of elites who are sure THEY know how to get to socialism (unlike the UNWASHED MASSES) are untrustworthy.

When socialism arrives, it'll arrive by the people's hands, not against their will.

Yep, who watches the watchmen. And what does the vanguard guard. Two of the more important questions never asked.
