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.

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?
When America was bulldozing the country for cars, the USSR was building trains which could carry more people and cargo per unit of land that automobiles.
They formed a civilian corp to go to where people lived and taught literacy to adults and children alike.
They built enough modern housing to solve homelessness and bring living conditions to 20th century standards (who would have guessed that giving everyone housing would solve homelessness?!).
They rapidly industrialized the USSR so that it was comparable in productivity to the USA.
They produced enough food that the people had access to more calories than Americans had (CIA's own reports admit this fact).
They defeated Hitler.
They made racism a crime (which didn't end well for the pogroms who were harming Jewish people).
They overthrew the Kulaks who were using their status as landlords to exploit the starving tenant farmers and distributed that land so that every household had enough land to feed themselves.
