For the sake of this post, we'll pretend travel is not :bourgeoisie: decadence and is used to reinforce our ideals and build global connections (but not the :cia: kind).
Normies travel to Disneyland for treats, Paris to see the Eiffel Tower, London to see legacies of royalty, Rome to see the ruins of empire.
Where do communists pilgrimage to? Lenin's Tomb, Pavlov's House? I want to visit Soviet war memorials and speak to eastern Europeans who lived under socialism, saw it's dissolution, and the aftermath.
The destinations can be less ideological, of course. What are some cool places?
Was going to post this in /earth but I have a hunch that's a dead sub
I oppose this, what's the point of going to "house where guy once lived"?

If you pose OP's question? To feel some sort of cultural difference, or to gain some insights in how changes affect society or any number of experiences that can only be had with going somewhere and interacting with it.

I guarantee you as a hexbear.net user you're not going to find anything interesting or insightful in the SPD-ran Karl Marx House in Trier

Yeah, should they though? Is this sort of idol-worship-esque shit really worthwhile though?
If you want a history of Marx' and Engel's personal life, there's plenty of books about it and you're not gonna find many traces of them, barring intentionally made ones, in either city, on account of being rebuilt after WW2.
And if you want to see what they grew up in, there's plenty better museums or places to be. And if you want to feel it the vibes, go to Northrine-Westphalias many remaining dive bars and talk to people there. Or Duisburg's industry museum.

To literally walk in the footsteps of great men.
