    “People’s Army” = the violent thugs in the employ of the new state, to replace the violent thugs in the employ of the old one.

    “Support of the Proletariat” = the alternating oppression and indoctrination of the people will continue, under new management.

    And all in support of:

    “Vanguard Party” = the new ruling class.

    You actually create a communist revolution by having a leftist demagogue convince a group of bored trust fund babies that they’re lives would be paradise if they only fundamentally change the government. The same demagogue goes to elite keyholders in the old government and promises power un the new government if they change sides. The revolution happens. Scores are settled, and many of those same trust fund babies are put against the wall, because the demagogue wants absolute political power, not a utopia for his supporters. The country is weakened, while political and civil rights are curtailed for the greater good
