Today the International Committee of the Fourth International inaugurates Socialism AI, a transformative application of advanced technological development to the political education and mobilization of the international working class.
I have not read the article yet but i think this is a good topic to discuss here.
I understand that. But after reading a lot of theory, marx, engels, lenin and stalin are amongst the greatest heroes that ever lived, objectively. Not because i count everything that happened while they were in power but by the theory they wrote that will forever help people survive, liberate, change, cooperate, etc. and even proved them to be true. Its the thanos “okay i’m gonna do it myself” meme in a way. Of course they werent alone, they never acted alone, materialism even suggests they did not really have a chance but to write it but i choose to hold them in high regard, place pictures of them at my home, etc. to remind me every day what I aspire to achieve. You can of course do differently or plain disagree on that idea but i dont think this constitutes a “cult”. Its plain admiration of people who managed to do the thing. :)
And there are of course others who deserve admiration. Its also part of my personality to have mentors which helps me learn faster through mimmicking. The important distinction is to basically get off at the correct stop (talking in trains since i’m riding a train atm) and not loosing the bigger picture for plain parasocial relationship.

I’m saying there’s a fine line between admiration and hero worship; and that I cross it too often. Ymmv
