>It's arrogant
Agreed, ajd i apologise, but its the last resort when youre faced with someone who hasn't progressed with the material.

>you'll guide them, right?  
Marxist Leninist theory exists for this. I'm no Mao; im not qualified to lead anyone, I'm just intent on ensuring everyone can learn.

>Trotsky says that the peasants are just too stupid to agree with him

Trotsky stated peasants lack class conscience and can seek emancipation through alliance with the proletariat in revolution. Peasants absolutely have the intelligence to understand their circumstance, their life and their oppression.

> the proletariat is too stupid so they need guidance from the vanguard of the proletariat

The role of the vanguard, the party, is to align the proletariat with goals and objectives to achieve Marxist communism. The proletariat sees their class role and understand the need to make revolution. These are levels of leadership, not crutches upon which failure rests.

>and the vanguard of the proletariat has to listen to the Fourth International

The Fourth International (FI) was a political international established in France in 1938 by Leon Trotsky and his supporters, having been expelled from the Soviet Union and the Communist International. I'm not certain what this is relevant to?
