As a political institution, it’s what you’d expect from religion - ranging from mild to extreme reaction depending on the region. As a cultural one, it’s very good, both for the sake of empowering anti-imperial resistance and preserving a multitude of cultures. Now, culture is just a fancy way to say “how people live”, so just like any religion, it will lose relevance and eventually become a permanent resident of museum expositions, as our ways of life will change under socialism, and will force us to adopt a new culture, but at the moment it’s both an obstacle and an empowering tool for our comrades around the globe.
