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?

    lol wait until you find out how pretty much every leader has wanted to be cremated and forgotten. Invariably they end up bunged in a mausoleum.

    The people want what the people want, and the people want giant busts of Lenin.
