If Marxism is held out to be indeed *the* basic working class philosophy, and the proletariat cannot owe its emancipation to anyone but itself, it is hard to go back on it and say that the working class is not yet ready to dispense with authority placed over it.
Equally, such Marxists as Trotsky stressed that the key problem facing the working class was, precisely, the problem of leadership (as he put it, "the historical crisis of mankind is reduced to the crisis of the revolutionary leadership").
Bakunin constantly stressed that the emancipation of the working classes was the work of the working classes themselves.
