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?

One thing I didn't see yet : GOSPLAN. They put into practice the first planned economy in history, developed the mathematics to support it, had something like 1000 products and intermediary materials in the plan. And they did it all by hand, without the aid of computers and databases.

This was all while western / austrian economists talked about how it was impossible.
