Left communists are sometimes implied to be more critical of Lenin and Leninism but this CWO (ICT) article seems to suggest otherwise, and that current leftcom organisations are more than just vanguardists

Likewise the ICC
Perhaps. Perhaps not.I however find that despite differences and in particular analysis of history, i find some degree of agreement which could be built upon.
They are Leninists of other stripes. The ICC claims that they are not Leninists but they support and defend many basic aspects of Leninism.The so-called Left Communists originated from the Russian opposition, they only rejected Stalin management style, but they supported everything regarding Leninismhttp://en.internationalism.org/wr/238_leftcom.htm. A couple of years ago they were united with the Anarchists, and now they are attacking the Anarchists. They are like a clock pendulum

There are some groups who have rejected the vanguard party, but they have kept the most distorted part of Lenin. Leninism is not the vanguard party to lead only. Most of them claim that the Soviet Union was socialist until 1930, and most of them continue raising the so-called slogan of the anti-imperialism, the revolution in two stages in some so called third world country ( they are still living in the past ) and the so called socialist state. The ICC has rejected Anarchism completely, but they do not know that Marx was also an Anarchist, and he borrowed many of his conceptions from the Anarchists
They were differences between the Hoxhaists and the Maoists, but in essence, both tendencies were Stalinists and Leninists. The Trotskyists claim that Trotsky was a Bolshevik and a Leninist, but Stalin was also an old Bolshevik too. Stalin was the founder of the so-called tendency known as Marxism-Leninism

They also support the Anarchists. They have had more subdisiions than the Ottoman empire.
