STORM considered itself a revolutionary vanguard party. In Marxist thought, a "revolutionary vanguard" are advocates of perpetual revolution. Marxist organizing takes years, and only a few hardcore individuals survive all the failed organizing attempts, such as anti-war movements, anti-police movements, Occupy Wall Street, etc. Most protesters who participate in these causes loose interest after a war ends or an election changes priorities. A cadre of hardcore, trained Marxists however, fight on, waiting until the time is right for a general revolution.
The role of the vanguard doesn't end there. Once Marxists secure power, the perpetual revolution continues, rooting out Marxist non-believers and building the [[Progressive]] [[utopis]].
