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.
Gorbachev literally thought our way of getting food was too good to be true

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.

How did Stalin and Lenin lose? It was the revisionists who made the soviet union fall.
And I think the communist party that leads billions of people has more authority on what is communist than you, who probably never read anything on the subject before.
Deng Xiaoping/Xi Jiping thought are perfectably compatible with Marxism-Leninism, you are just ignorant on the subject.
