I'll be honest with you guys - the only thing I know about these guys are the horrible things. I've read the Gulag Archipelago, seen films and read interviews about the torture of women and priests in communist Romania, my grandma used to talk about the rapes the Soviets did when they passed through here, and my history teachers taught us about the horrors of the camps filled with innocent people both here and in the USSR.
And yet communist leaders are still revered today in many places. I would like to learn more about the arguments of the other side. What do people admire about Lenin/Stalin/Mao etc.?

>class mobility Not even close user - there's never more "class mobility" in a system than capitalism. Except if you mean being middle class and then starving to death 3 years later as class mobility
>racial equality Hmm... didn't Stalin genocide jewish communities in his own country?

Stalin industrialized Russia. When rose to power Russia was a backwards agrarian nation. When he died Russia had nukes.

> having nukes > having food on the table
Which one do you think is more important?

>Hmm... didn't Stalin genocide jewish communities in his own country? Jews ran the Evil Empire and were Stalin's chief executioners, killing many more Christians than Hitler killed Jews

they rapidly modernized countries and took care some of the injustices happening for hundreds of years
they built homes, factories, gave ppl jobs, a better living if you supported them
they provided security and a better standard of living of the masses in many cases
