Pronunciation

edit

Noun

edit

avant-garde f (plural avant-gardes)

  1. (military) vanguard [since mid-12th c.]
    Antonym: arrière-garde
    • 1879, Alfred Barbou, Les Trois Républiques françaises : Histoire populaire de la République en France [The Three French Republics: People's history of the Republic in France], A. Duquesne:
      Le 11 décembre, les avant-gardes ennemies étaient signalées aux environs de Château-Thierry.
      On December 11, the enemy vanguard was reported in the vicinity of Château-Thierry.
  2. (figuratively) avant-garde, firing line [since mid-16th c.]
  3. (Marxism) vanguard, the most politicized and conscious part of the proletariat.
    • 1917, Vladimir Lenin, “Chapter II, part 1”, in L’État et la Révolution[2]:
      En éduquant le parti ouvrier, le marxisme éduque une avant-garde du prolétariat capable de prendre le pouvoir et de mener le peuple tout entier au socialisme, de diriger et d’organiser un régime nouveau, d’être l’éducateur, le guide et le chef de tous les travailleurs et exploités pour l’organisation de leur vie sociale, sans la bourgeoisie et contre la bourgeoisie. Au contraire, l’opportunisme régnant éduque, dans le parti ouvrier, des représentants des travailleurs les mieux rétribués qui se détachent de la masse : ils "s’accommodent" assez bien du régime capitaliste et vendent pour un plat de lentilles leur droit d’aînesse, c’est-à-dire qu’ils abdiquent leur rôle de chefs révolutionnaires du peuple dans la lutte contre la bourgeoisie.
