I regularly see trots being memed about because "they do nothing apart from writing newspapers", but to me from their viewpoint (and as an anarchist) it totally makes sense and is a sympathetic view how it should be the workers leading the fight towards a revolution and the vanguard should stand aside and take the role of advisors (hence the newspapers) rather than leaders.

I feel like i'm missing something but i don't know what.

I didn't mean they wouldn't be allowed to, i meant they wouldn't be required to, since the party is just a formal guiding light but the decisionmaking takes place out of the party.

But this was explained in another comment about how workers will likely be more busy fighting their local fights which is a fair assessment.
