A lot of leftists really seem to hate Khrushchev, it's like everyone points at him and says "and this is where it all went down hill". If you're a Khrushchev-stan in the comments show yourself because more than likely there isn't one. Lenin's the goat, Stalin's a problematic fav, but Khrushchev leaves the bland taste of cardboard in my mouth. The thing is, IDK who would really have been better? Zhukov might have been a good general but I can't say he would have been a good governor, like I said IDK. Please enlighten me oh wise hexbear with your years of theory under your girthy communism enjoyer belts.
undefined> Now compare them to China and the CPC, who actually did remove Mao from power once his policies caused economic disaster and political turmoil, but they still had enough sense not to attempt the trash the reputation of one of the heros of the revolution. They criticized his excesses and failures, but upheld the good, and remembered that his legacy was their legacy. They didn't let a dead man tear their political system apart and force themselves to act embarrassed whenever anyone brings up a massive part of their own history.
China has learned a lot from the mistakes of the USSR. This is why Communism will win (provided humans don't go extinct) we learn from every mistake and every success.
