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?

    You responded to a thread about cults of personality building up around political leaders resulting in their followers making idols out of them with an example of exactly the thing we were talking about and then acted like the act of pointing that out was an attack against an entire peoples. It wasn't the four letters. You knew that before you typed up this reply.
