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?

IMO their greatest achievement was the revolution itself, it was a very powerful beacon, people all around the world were following with awe the events of the russian revolution and it ended up inspiring many other revolutionaries like Mao and Uncle Ho. Those really were the days that shook the world, hope for the oppressed and tremor for the oppressors.

Later i will look up the writings were Ho talks about how inspiring that event was to him.
