    Because they have to latch onto “great men”, it helps with their simplistic cult minded tendencies to defer to authority.

      Have you read Parenti? You could label him a Stalinist with his views, and that’s the general line who you consider Stalinist to be has, how would his views ever be considered as latching onto great men?
