I'm sure that politicians being uneducated was a problem in the Soviet Union, but there were people who would at least turn revisionist who were among the Soviet vanguard since before the October Revolution. The problem fundamentally isn't ignorance, or it is somehow that many years of schooling are needed not to trip and fall into being a reactionary. The former means that education won't solve it, the latter is basically an excuse for having a party of the elite who the plebians can't hope to understand the intellectual workings of, who they must sit passively by and approve or disapprove from the short procession of learned individuals who had the privilege to go through all this political grooming.

what

Can you define what the vanguard party is please?

Historically, I am referring to the Bolsheviks and then the Communist Party of the Soviet Union

Generally, a vanguard party is the forward segment of the population that is educated on and dedicated to the project of social revolution and agitates and organizes among the general population towards this end, and though it becomes something more administrative when it has control of the state, those two functions remain, as does the need to not (try to) compel the masses into something they don't want to do. There can be no benevolent tyrants, just educators who operate with the popular mandate.
