That last verse goes so fucking hard
Yeah it sure does. I know great man theory is nonsense and whatnot but damn if Lenin was not a case in favor of it.
Great man theory isn't wrong in that certain people with power and influence didn't have a huge impact, it's wrong because it's just sort of assuming that they're this a priori source of change instead of themselves being a result of change and broader movements. Lenin did great things and had a huge impact, but he came out of the context of a larger movement that preceded him and existed without him rather than simply manifesting fully formed to create that movement the way liberal Great Man "historians" portray it.
It is definitely nonsense, but it is undeniable that some dudes do indeed rock

Love some Langston Hughes. Not sure how I missed this banger. Guess it didn't make its way into the books at school.
