I think USA and the USSR both won, they both changed the paradigm at their respective times (1776, 1917). They will both haunt the world and be remembered forever.

Oh that's such a cope. Ussr absolutely lost and america absolutely won. Both will be remembered forever, but the soviet union literally stopped being a thing because of my people.

Lenin and Stalin won, Marxism-Leninism won, what happens after I couldn't care less because they are not Marxist-Leninist. China today are the ones who follow Marxist-Leninist tradition.
