Hmmm. Reminds me of when I used to be married to a Trotskyist. Since he was so busy doing political work and thinking political thoughts, he never had time to wash dishes, cook, shop, take the kids to the doctor, watch the kids, do the laundry, etc. He was too busy preparing to be the vanguard. All this, while he was working half time (or not at all) and I was working full time. At a certain point I was ready to hang a big sign over the sink that said "Communism begins at home." I verbalized this, but was told that I was bringing in the petty concerns of "private" lives and that communism wasn't about that. Made me very skeptical about the notion of a vanguard. Joanna
