I went to the same middle school as did Xi. There he is and here I am :agony-wholesome:
Interesting, tankies claim Xi is a lefty but clearly he is right handed :thinkin-lenin:
Ok I am an anarchist (communist obviously not a fake capitalist)
But holy shit I want xi to show me who’s on top of the hierarchy
:panting: president xi please show me what socialism with Chinese characteristics is
Why do people fetishize socialist leaders? Communism is about the people, not figureheads.
At some level I think this is unavoidable.
We don't have brains that are capable of grappling with the idea of 7 billion people as anything but an abstraction.
That's not a human nature argument.
You literally said it was inevitable for human beings to engage in hero worship, because we cannot conceive of 7 billion people as individuals. they are both human nature arguments. i'm going to bed
That is a fundamental limitation of our brains. I'm not sure how that's up for dispute.
I don't think that necessitates hero worship, but I do think that is an influence for why hero worship is common. The hero is a simple abstraction.
