Oh yeah the leaders who caused untold destruction on their own people and started authoritarian regimes… Totally the same
What do you mean when you say they “caused untold destruction?” Do you legitimately think Tsarist Russia was better for its people than the USSR, or that the Russian Federation is better for its people now than the USSR was? Do you think the colonized, nationalist China was better for its people than the PRC? Legitimately.
In both the USSR and PRC, life expectancies doubled, literacy rates over tripled, disparity shrank dramatically while rapidly improving the economy, and famines ended in countries where that was previously common. No, not perfect, but undeniably massive improvements, and it is Marxism-Leninism and those millions who adhered to it that accomplished those massive victories.
Three cheers for murder
It was good that the Red Army defeated the Nazis.
Yes, the Nazis were very bad and I’m glad the Soviet Union defeated them instead of joining them and carving up Europe together
True.
They were probably very shocked that Europe( Britain, France, Fascist Italy etc) allowed Nazi Germany and Poland to annex and divide Czechoslovakia between themselves.

I prefer Anarchist figures personally :3
Those can be good! But you really should read Marx, Engels, and Lenin, they have some great works. Funny enough, Mao took a lot of inspiration from Anarchism as well, even though he was still a Marxist-Leninist.
Im a fan of Marx and Engels, less of Lenin and Stalin (especially their views on the Vanguard), and not too big of a Mao fan.
What’s wrong with their views on the vanguard?
Im not personally a fan of the entire concept, I dont belive a vanguard is necessary and in many cases actively harmful. State socialism is very easily corrupted and imo the state should not own the means of production.
