Before we say anything comrades, no. This isn't the formation of a paramilitary or revolutionary violence you'd see from a vanguard party just toppling capitalism. The Socialist Individual and Protection Act (SIPA) looks to answer an ever growing question every nation faces. How do you keep representatives, and the physical institutions of democracy safe? Or, how do you keep individuals such as the Custodian or Premier safe? While Xsampa isn't polarized, and the threat is low, it can never be zero realistically. That is where SIPA comes in, looking to create a formal institution with the specific and express purpose of protecting PAX from extraordinary threats that Metz-Leonid Public Security may not be able to handle, safeguard the Premier, the Custodian and Assembly members. This is where the Red Guard comes in, the formally created parliamentary guard. Think of it as an equivalent to the Royal Guard you see abroad in monarchies, but for protecting representatives instead of just a single family. 

So, what is the Red Guard? Think of it as a formal institution of bodyguards for Representatives. As such, they are not expected to ever partake in military affairs, and will answer to the People's Committee of Internal Affairs, and will be required to work very closely with Metz-Leonid Public Security. The Red Guard will have the distinct goal of protecting PAX and it's respective chambers, the offices of Representatives, provide close security to the Custodian and the Premier, and provide security for foreign dignitaries. As such, the Red Guard under no circumstances, cannot be used for military or extralegal reasons, cannot be used for policing, cannot be used as a secret police or be used as a means to intimidate or enforce. They are bodyguards first and foremost. 

Beyond giving tourists in Metz-Leonid something new to look at, the Red Guard will no doubt help in keeping things calm. Even if Xsampa is always calm, it's better to be over prepared for a storm that never comes then be unprepared for an unknown storm. So yes, to ultimately summarize comrades, these are fancy bodyguards for Representatives, the Custodian, Premier and foreign delegations during state visits. They answer to the People's Committee of Internal Affairs, and as such vetting will be thoroughly handled by the PCIA.
