Exactly! I think the biggest takeaway from this is the opposite of what the author was pointing out. This is what happens when a vanguard party leads the charge. The PSL is still relatively small but the great success of these two actions proves the effectiveness of not just democratic centralism but the PSL as the main US vanguard. I mean they (incredibly successfully) helped organize walkouts in over 400 high schools. That is huge.
