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.

Very silly people.
there'll be more; this pill is too bitter to swallow thanks to the depth to which we're indoctrinated.
For sure, kinda just wanted to see what the response to a pro-Marxism-Leninism meme would be. Seems split 50/50 so far.
Ended up as 2:1 from the tiny fraction of liberals who engaged.
93 up to 63 down, not quite 2:1 but not bad either.
