Yes, always win. Stalin broke America's nuclear monopoly, so that the world's most genocidal country couldn't rule the world through doomsday weapons. He also freed the world from fascism, and saved world democracy.

Ho Chi Minh liberated Cambodia from US backed dictator Pol Pot, and helped reconstruct their nation which had been destroyed by American mercenaries.

As for Allende in Chile, I think you're being too generous. You've barely scratched the surface of the horrors subjected to Columbia, Nicaragua, Cuba, Mexico, Brasil, El Salvador and Peru, who suffered a decades long terror campaign from contras and narcos, who were bought and paid for by the US government for almost half a century.

It says nothing about how, in Nicaragua, doctors would report testimonies of how the population was addicted to coke paste, and described the slums and shanty towns as being occupied by "cocaine zombies." How mental health facilities overflowed with young students who had become irreparably damaged by the contra drug trade.

Nothing about how, in Columbia, the trade unionists were slaughtered in broad daylight by chainsaws until the dirt roads were saturated with blood to the point of where it looked like muddy rainfall.

How the Los Pepes would create human effigies from the mutilated and dismembered bodies of suspected communists.

Nor did you even begin to scratch the surface of the settler-colonial genocides which had gone on for centuries, during which numerous ethnic groups and people are today classified by anthropologists as extinct, especially the first peoples of what is today Hispaniola and Sinaloa.

You neglected to mention how, in El Salvador, after Oscar Romero was shot in his own church, Roberto D'Aubuisson, a US mercenary, ran the country like his own personal playground. Whereupon he would frequently partake in torture, mutilation and infanticide.

The CIA nicknamed him "Blowtorch Bob." A moniker that described his preferred method of torture.

And that's just the stuff I recall from memory. Because when you look at that, and see precisely what the Sandinistas, the Cuban revolutionaries, the Venezuelan revolutionaries and so on, were up against, then you quickly begin to understand why Marxists always win.

Because in this absolute nightmare, in this American slaughterhouse, they managed to build schools, and hospitals, sometimes in hidden in the middle of the jungles. They managed to resist against the interests of US corporations like the United Fruit Company, whose mercenaries slaughtered some 50,000 people in Guatemala. That's where the word "Banana Republic" comes from.

And every decade or so, the NATO powers flood South America with illegal weapons, drugs, mercenaries and terrorists. They carry out some of the worst unspeakable atrocities, and even teach torture as a college course in WHINSEC.

But even in spite of that, Cuba remains Cuban, Venezuela remains Venezuelan, Nicaragua remains Nicaraguan, even in places where they do take the government power, like Honduras, one of the US strongest allies, and known as the torture capital of South America, you still see resistance.

As people, no matter how brutalised, subjugated, beaten down and exploited, never stop resisting.

Every decade they watch their societies burn, and decline, and suffer horrific atrocities from the world's biggest terror state, and they keep resisting. They keep building those schools, they keep building those hospitals, they keep teaching the campesinos how to read, and participate, and unionise.

No matter what you liberals throw at those people, they refuse to be exterminated. They refuse to dedicate a lifetime of suffering, illiteracy, disease and poverty, to making sure you got fresh apples at the grocery aisle.
