    Its not in line with dialectical materialism to turn revolutionaries into “great men” who are simply “built different”. Its a form of self-defeat actually.

    Also yes persecution creates a counter-hegemony culture in general.

      It is dialectical to observe that repression creates resistance, though.

      They’re not great men that are built different, they are products of their historical material conditions.
