I'm not sure people still read this sub-forum, but just in case: in the tradition of some other posts: what are some questions for Revolutionary Communists that some people have that we could tackle on our blog?

I wouldn't mind a series on various Communist theorists. One could read it from the Marxists archive and presumably use whatever experts we have here. There are a few impenetrables I think are worthy of being explained:
* Karl Marx himself ("young" and "mature")
* The German Democratic Socialists to World War I
* Vladimir Lenin
* Rosa Luxemburg
* Mikhail Bakunin
* Leon Trotsky
* Antonio Gramsci
* Louis Althusser
* ...

That's obviously a long list but it gives quite a few places to explore!

I would really like to learn more about Che's approach to socio-economics. From my meager research on the topic I can recall only his fundamental insistence upon the significance of democracy in any communist economy.

How do communists, who presumbly believe in the power of the masses and not those of a few great men (and who write the social history of the people from below and not of the kings) nevertheless like to worship communist heros?
