Oh you know what, I don’t care for this government. I might make critical statements about it and maybe it will drive societal change and then political change

One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just isn’t the same. Tankies won’t tell you they’re a bunch of bootlickers, they try to convince you it’s democracy to blame.
In the USA they raise the price of water in their gulags during heat waves to extort more money out of their ethnic minority slave labourers. Hundreds of slaves have died in the past few years from roasting to death in their cells.
Nice of you to inaccurately reappropriate the term for soviet labour camp to a US prison. The rate of death in the gulags was 32-36x higher than the rate in US prison.
The US prison system is a fucking disgrace that urgently needs to be fixed, but comparing it to the gulags is disgustingly dishonest tankie apologia.
What a spectacularly stupid, ironic take. Where are you getting your history from, champ?
Some numbers (fuck me, it’s insane I need to provide these).
Between 1930 and 1953, roughly 14 million people were sent to the gulags - 1. 5 million - 1.7 million of those people died in the gulag or shortly thereafter - 10.7% - 12.1%
The rate of death in US prison? 0.33% - that’s 32-36 times worse. You assume the US stats are an order of magnitude off because tankie magic science, and you’re still spectacularly wrong.
Not a lot of info there from what I scrolled though - just a lot of unsourced incredulity at the 14 million people in gulags figure. I assumed I’d get that from you, honestly.
There are currently Black, indiginous and environmental activists who are detained under Biden’s law of “domestic terrorism.” Is that what you’re talking about?

Are the tankies in the room with us? You okay bro?
Instead you go to jail in the US based on the colour of your skin.
Similarly, better jail in the US than the gulag.
…oh, and the USSR blew past the systemic racism and violence straight to broad ethnic purges anyhow.
Happy choosing, people!
If we could work our way toward actual communism, that’d be real nice.

The rest of your comment is similarly ignorant yankese.

Fuck you and your dumb authoritarian apologia.
You compared the USSR to Tsarist Russia rather than the US - why? You can’t have run out of pixels… You only used about 12.
You want more gulag info?

No books, no data, no point?
Your average tankie tends to go on a long, ahistorical rant, but you’re seemingly incapable of even that. You’re even worse than the average tankie.
What an embarrassment.
