If the party came under the control of a right-wing bureaucracy from the moment of its creation, the people would still have a legitimate claim to take the party back from the bureaucracy. The party existed before its foundation as an idea. The title of Lenin’s great work What is to Be Done comes from revolutionary fiction, a favorite book of his, describing a fictional secret movement to overthrow the government written by a clergyman. If Lenin appreciated the work of a clergyman, then so can any Communist for all of history! The people always have more of a right to control of the party than any individual or for-profit corporation that under bourgeois law claims legitimate ownership.
