Cult
A cult is a term used to refer to a group, particularly one which relates to religion, which is highly-controlling, isolated from the rest of society, and dominated by a "charismatic leader." The term, while having some legitimate uses, is often used by the bourgeoisie and revisionists to attack revolutionary formations, with aspects such as the subjugation of the minority to the majority and other features of communist discipline being considered "abuse."
The concept of a "cult of personality" is used similarly by capitalist ideologists to oppose proletarian propaganda, particularly that which celebrates the country's revolutionary leadership.[1]

"The phony communist Nikita Khrushchev’s old spittle is still lapped up by the pathetic dog traitors to communism today by raising the specter of the 'cult of personality.' Anywhere this criticism is made, one finds anti-communism; it is that simple. Behind it resides the attacks on the dictatorship of the proletariat, the Leninist conception of leadership specifically, and organizational discipline, all of which is an attempt to decapitate the Left and sever the Communists from the masses. The so-called 'cult of personality' is a revisionist thesis; who has upheld it? Liu Shaoqi, Deng Xiaoping, Althusser, Gorbachev, and many others. Today in the US it falls from the feces-stained mouths of the Politically Degenerate Right Liquidationists and their disciples among the Liquidationists Inside Out, whose lofty pandering to the bourgeoisie is dressed up as Maoism."
