The main characteristics of the party implied in Lenin's conceptualization are:
1. The party is in possession of a unique type of knowledge as well as a distinctive method. Its knowledge base is Marxism and its method is dialectic.
2. The party is in principle a rigidly disciplined and carefully selected small group. It claims intellectual superiority because of the possession of unique knowledge.
3. The party has to be territorialy all pervasive in the sense that its branches should spread in all the parts and regions of the country.
4. The party is, by design, a highly centralised organization. Autonomy of local units is thus ruled out. The rank and file would be subject to strict discipline and rules of obedience.
