Modern capitalist politicians have personality cults but they are different in nature. Communist personality cults were at least not anti-intellectual, you were supposed to internalize these guys' theory and read their works, while personality cults of politicians in capitalism is when Obama is woke on Twitter or wears Apple EarPods.

What do you mean, like manufactured ones? There were clearly cults of personality around Stalin and Mao especially.

You don't have to be a capitalist to know that there were a quite strong manufactured cult of personality around them.

Both of them don't seem manufactured by Mao and Stalin personally, more like by their middle men outside their inner circle trying to suck up to them, but they certainly took advantage of it at times while at other times condemning them.

Some people also really admired them. I also believe that the average North Korean genuinely really admired Kim il-Sung and Kim Jong-il but that's probably because they were exposed to very favourable information about them.

This is gonna sounds stupid, but what's wrong with a cult of personality? Literally every society has them, Iran has Khomeini, China had Mao, Turkey has Mustafa.

The problem is not personality cults of Mao, Stalin or the Kims. The problem are personality cults in tiny Western ML parties around ridiculous faggots who haven't achieved anything but are in fact sometimes even grifters

If they are good leaders and have written good theory it's okay, but if they are shit like the one around Gonzalo then they are damaging.

Seriously, everybody who calls himself Marxist-Leninist-Maoist-Gonzaloist is discarded by me, nailing dogs against lampposts and cutting peasant's fingers off is beyond fucking retarded
