    Nope. You can respect someone without worshiping them.

    I’m an anarchist so I wouldn’t even go so far as to say I respect Mao.

    Do I think Bernie and AOC are better than most politicians? Of course. If I found out they were sexual predators I’d still say throw them in jail.

      Maybe not you personally.

      I’m only highlighting that (some) people on the left are just as capable of blind worship as those on the right.

      Lenin’s body is literally preserved in a glass case for public viewing. That absolutely crosses the line into worshipping for me. That ain’t normal.

        Sure, but was it the people who demanded that happen or was it the so-called communist government? By the time the U.S.S.R went away it had become sort of a landmark, so I can see why they didn’t get rid of it at that point.

        People in North Korea are required to have pictures of pictures of the Un’s on penalty of death. How they actually feel about him is anyone’s guess. Despite what they say he’s no leftist though at any rate.
