They'll literally talk about feeding millions of people alligators or put on theatrically staged shows of tying people up to chairs with bags on their heads and executing them via gunshot to the back of the head among other monstrous acts but will cry crocodile tears enough to flood the Great Plains with an ocean and accuse you of being a monster in human skin if you don't want basic human rights for everyone.
It is difficult for me to imagine what "personal liberty" is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment.
Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread. Only in such a society is real, and not paper, personal and every other liberty possible

A maximum sentence in the worst Soviet prison in the Stalin era is a kindness to these people.
Oh no I hope I didn’t hurt your feelings in this public post you made!
Here's my trade offer;
You can A) Read through all the first-hand primary source info on the Soviet penal system in this post and come back with a nuanced response and even make an intrllectual critique of it if you see fit.
Or B) make a
shitlib snarky one-liner and be banned from the instance.
I seriously doubt that someone who’s immediate response was to attack and dismiss my post, calling me a “shitlib”, which I’m sure means something to you, is interested in a “nuanced” discussion of any kind.
And if your so called primary source is an American journalist who was allowed to visit some prisons, then I would ask you if you really believe they would allow her to tour the majority of facilities?
I am suspect of propaganda in all its forms. And I’m in no way defending the fascist shithole that the US has become. I am simply pointing out that the US being shit is not a defense of Siberian labor camps, as your post implies.
But not suspect of all the western propaganda about Soviet gulags, apparently.
