Yes, you need a vanguard party. It's easily to see when you look at India for example where strikes of dozens of millions, even over 100 million were organised in last few years but despite having the strenght way more than enough to topple the government and even entire system, they didn't even kept the status quo.
Bingo. Bowing to spontaneity is a foolish endeavor, you need direction for mass and force to apply pressure in a pointed area. It's like blowing up a balloon, it takes far less air to pop it if all of the pressure were able to be localized to a specific area, rather than generally spreading evenly.
