What if, instead of treating historically significant communists as greater, or throwing them away in pursuit of mythical pure ideal communists, we treat them as whole people with strengths and flaws that can be appreciated and critiqued?
Agree with your opinion on nazbols I didn't really take in what your post was about. We do need to draw lines in the sand with regards to who we work with and what we're willing to compromise on (no nazbols, "conservative communists", etc)
Sounds good to me. That's exactly what I want. But the feeling I get is that in a lot of commie spaces we worship our leaders like they are saints who never did anything wrong in their lives.
Yea i dont get this, from my experience commie spaces worship their leaders the least or at least provide actual and deep criticism for their leaders when prompted.
Nah, it's a pretty common stereotype that commies are very very devoted to the people that wrote the theory and lead the countries. I don't necessarily think this is a bad thing. They are heros of the people after all. But we should also talk about what they did wrong and not censor people who pose criticism.

I agree, many communists will say Great Man Theory is bunk also seem afraid to criticize even within safe circles of discussion.
