“This, then, is the main role of the leader – to articulate, spread and inculcate ideology.’” Wether Lenin, Stalinist or Marxist, I immediately recalled this statement "It's much broader than that. It's a cultural issue, and therefore we're going to have to look more broadly, work as a society on this, and discuss it, which is why I'm really pleased that Adolescence is now going to be shown in schools free because I do think young people should be watching it."
Ironically from the same “working man” who also said this in a press conference “He said the online world and social media means “ideology” can be “pumped directly into the minds of our children”.
The show shines a light on issues that people do not know how to respond to, he said. (From the former newspaper The independent)
“Pateman spends considerable time discussing the virtues of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK, or North Korea). He claims that Lenin’s ideals regarding ‘leadership’ were further refined through the juche idea (or ideology) manifested through North Korea’s Kim dynasty: ‘only the “Leader” possesses the correct ideology and can disseminate this ideology. This, then, is the main role of the leader – to articulate, spread and inculcate ideology.’”
I have to take issue with drawing a continuous line connecting the leadership in Korea with the thinking of Lenin. Clearly, Pateman is cynical and shallow in his ‘thinking’. It is also rank cynicism in a ploy for historical legitimacy by subsequent communist leaders to connect themselves to Lenin. To accept historical distortions by Stalinists though is just lazy thinking.
