Did you read it? It wasn't a "cultural compulsion". It was a deliberate campaign to turn the memory of him into a complete fabrication and a fascist tool.

And why did that propaganda campaign work? What did it operate on?

People like heroes, alive or dead. Them being dead is just beneficial to those rewriting their history.

Useful because of how we treat the dead and their memory.

Useful because they can't argue, disprove, or otherwise disrupt the use of their person as a "perfect" hero of the movement.
