One of the biggest moments for me or realizing how propagandized westerners are is when I discovered how much improvement happened in the USSR and China under the "bad" leaders. These facts are not in dispute or being surpressed, but the western public is being effectively kept ignorant of them.
Same sources will be constantly "handing it" to fascists and excusing their crimes because 'they made the trains run on time' (for a few years before war and destruction engulfed their countries)

The dumbest part of that is that Mussolini's policies "made the trains run on time" by placing enormous pressures on the rail workers and eschewing maintenance and safe operating procedures, causing some marginal increase in normal punctuality at the cost of massively increasing deadly accidents and shutdowns from trains derailing.

Well, liberal economists are still way too negative on Mao because they have no way to account for collective ownership, or in any case choose to account for it inadequately.
during Mao's tenure China's life expectancy DOUBLED and from 1952-1978 there was 6.2% annnual growth. just chauvinist fantasies from this asshole
