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?

    1. Deconstructing the umbrella concept of "leadership" as bourgeois ideology and separating its components into the domains of teaching, mediating, public speaking, facilitating proceedings (parliamentarianism), strategizing, etc.

    2. Not letting someone hold the highest position in more than one of these domains.

    3. Definitely not having any organizational choke points by allowing one (human, biased, corruptible) person to have dominant sway over an organization. No more chains of command as we know them; we're not going to fight capitalism with capitalist atructures; we're going to fight capitalism with socialist structures.
