I think that we all agree that the totalitarian regimes of Joseph Stalin, Tito, etc. have negatively impacted on people's view of the communist system and how it was set out by Karl Mark throughout the 1850s and 1860s.
However, in countries that were officially communist, such as the USSR, many positive policies were implemented: - a strong welfare state which protected all from the uncertainties of life; - five-year economic plans, which aimed at modernising agriculture and industrialising the country, thereby catapulating many East European Communist states from the Middle Ages to the Modern Era; - equality between men and women; - a highly educated workforce; - a well-funded health care system.
This just goes to show that, in certain respects, the Soviet world was more ahead than the Western World in areas such as education, health and equality between the sexes.
Hopefully, people will not view communism such a negative light.
