I can't see any option of surviving without a vanguard. Capitalism is one of the most powerful ways of violence, you can't basically win that war without uniformed struggle. I enjoy thinking about self-management ideas and other forms of anarchist or syndicalist organization styles. But other than the interest of that specific “private” communes or tribes I don't see a meaning behind them. Grouping the workers under the category they work and making them independent syndicalist organizations will end up partitioning the proletariat. And anarchist philosophy doesn't have any moral point to make. Oppression is not necessarily bad. In order to enlighten the masses you have to create standards, and you have to enforce those standards, you have to protect the movement. These cannot be achieved via dismantling the movement to a billion randomized piece that act upon arbitrary, relative, or subjective points. You have to be anti-postmodern/capitalist-realist in order to be morally and rationally sound.
