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?

Full employment, detaching financial and real and planning according to real constraints.

I'd point out the accessibility of food in particular, from under the non constraints, and add from another side, beating the Nazis in the great patriotic war aka WWII

I have to agree successful social policies are the greatest achievement. Everything else is impressive, but not at the cost of a weak, sick, ignorant masses. Healthy, well educated people strengthen the state and any projects the state chooses to undertake.
