Subtle.

But do today's socialists (intetrnational socialists really, though their previous international communist label is only barely no longer applicable) relate to the Roman Emperors?

The icon graphic is the same. But is that because of their same root in the “glory of the ruler” that Stalin, Lenin, and Mao held sway?

Thanks for your comment.

I'm not saying the politics or economics are the same. But “the glory of the ruler” is exactly the same.
