Probably Boris Yeltsin, served a limited term throughout the 1990's.

No, and they're almost all fat pieces of shite too. I think Lenin is the lone exception.
Communism is a lie told to the working class to dupe them into being foot soldiers for aspiring authoritarian shitbags.

And I’d say the actual most competent communist leader was Deng Xiaoping, because he saw communism for the disaster that it was and course corrected:

Damn that’s a good quote.
A way more poetic way of saying what I was gonna say. Most leaders have been assholes but the ones who are capitalists at least aren’t outright lying to you about their motives. You know they want to make money.
Idk what the hell communists want other than a self aggrandizing sense of power

Communism on a large scale cannot ever work.
Communism in a village or small group of people (less than 100) will work for a few weeks/months bu thuman nature dictates that someone would grasp power and it would soon have a power structure which they pretend to abhor.
Communism isnt compatible with human nature, period.
I always tell these clowns to find like minded people and from a commune. But they dont want that. They want to take what you have already built.

I believe that Stalin was not considered to be a terrible tyrant. In fact, he was a highly successful tyrant. Off the charts great at his job.

If the middle class keeps getting squeezed, it will look more appealing to those who have given up and have nothing. Their votes count as much as yours does. If the majority is poor with no hope, that’s what we will het.

Communism requires literally everyone to be on the same page and with a willful understanding that some people will be working harder than others to live under the same conditions. We don’t operate that way as a species. You’re not going to sacrifice everything for a sack of shite you don’t know and doesn’t pull his own weight.

The only semi normal communist regime is Vietnam. We never should have fought their independence. And we propped up the south who weren't the best people either.

You are spot on.

They want utopia and the ideologues truly believe they are on the path to utopia as long as everyone is on the same page. Now, those that aren’t ideologues want power, and power alone.

Indeed. Communists are utopians, and utopians are responsible for most of the collective damage done in this world.

The answer to the original question is yes, he is terrible.

The nature of communism and socialism requires violence for control. It is simply a fact.
If the individual has no direct responsibility for himself, he will ultimately cease working. If the state provides all necessities for living, and working harder/smarter/longer will not allow one to improve one's standard of living, why would he work?
Therefore, force/violence must be the only option to force production. Imprisonment for failure to produce is costly and does not cause production.

Its an adversarial philosophy in which everyone is either a victim or abuser.
Its fricking retarded.

I don’t know world politics well enough to answer your question specifically, but communism it an economic system as opposed to a political system.
So, in theory, if elections were fair there could potentially be “nice” democratically elected leader over a society with a communistic economic system.

That’s why communists label anyone who isn’t a communist as “fascist.”
