I was wondering why the USSR is universally beloved among Marxist-Leninists but other AES states tend to be more controversial. So I looked into it.
Saved Europe from Fascism
Abolished private property
Abolished wealth accumulation
Centrally Planned Economy, quotas, prices, wages, EVERYTHING
State Atheism - BASED
Universal Literacy
First Man Into Space
Public Healthcare
Public Housing
Public Transportation
Holy sea cow SpongeBob! Any anarchist would fall out of their chair if one of their projects achieved even one of these things.
What in your opinion are the greatest policies and achievements of The USSR?
I wholeheartedly believe that the Soviet space program was the single greatest achievement of human devopment in history. A backwards nation of illiterate peasants, devastated by WW1. Followed by a long and bloody civil war. Followed by bearing the brunt of the most terrible war ever fought, on its own territory, with the express purpose of commiting genocide on its people. And not only did they survive, they conquered space within like two generations from the end of the civil war.
For me this is the living proof that socialism works and a better future for all humanity is possible.
