Right. The difference is that the communists probably cynically knew this and still exploited it.

Do you seriously think the LC leadership cynically manipulates their members? Or you think they really think that Lee was the MOTA and that reverence to him is part of their duty?

I still think it's the latter. I could be wrong, but when I was there people really, really believed this stuff.
