When I was in China I met someone who spoke positively of Chairman Mao. I doubt she's the only one.

Some people in Philippines still think Marcos, the dictator who looted their country for decades, was a good guy. They elected his son to be president recently. Speaking of which, their previous president was a bloodthirsty psychopath (currently in a prison cell in The Hague for crimes against humanity), who is also well loved.

Pretty good chance that psycho's daughter will be elected president of Philippines next, she's holding huge rallies.

And you thought US politics is bad....

The list of Western leaders seen as "heroes" goes on and on and none of them will see Heaven, for example (I live in the West and was raised on Western propaganda, I know that being sinful is not a European-only problem I just don't know much more outside of my bubble!). From the founding fathers to Churchill to Obama, if I had good memory and more time I'd burn my fingers writing it all down, lol.
