It’s kinda weird to have tons of huge portraits of just 1 person instead of art celebrating the masses or many different people or whatever.
I understand the impulse but now that we know enough to know that great man theory is a harmful way to think about events, how do we prevent large populations from falling into that hero worship mindset in future communist countries?
It's a difficult issue for sure, you can't really have a successful revolutionary struggle with out competent leaders (at least as far as history can inform us) and we can't expect people not to admire those leaders and develop a sort of parasocial relationship with them.
Also leaders are a shorthand for a longer set of ideals that they advocate
