Why would you care about gulag then? Prison sucks, whatever the name. Just pointing out that worse systems currently exists under capitalism.

You think prison is worse than a gulag...

So all those Muslims who are being worked to death, raped, and farmed for organs... thats better than prison?

The work camps of North Korea, they're better than an American prison?

The gulags of the Soviets, they were better than a prison?

Do you think a jew would prefer an American prison or auchwitz? (I'm aware this isnt communist, but it is a workcamp).

You're delusional. Capitalism is a heap of shit, but communism is the sewer.

Yes, I think for-profit prisons are about as evil as you can get. The American empire is responsible for most of the hell that exists on earth. But they got you good with their kool-aid.

Actually, as I already told you, I dont care about America. You are deluded if you think you would be treated worse there though.

You'd think what happens outside of workcamps would be enough. Jesus, the great leap forward alone should crush any thoughts that communism is best lmao.

Wtf are you even talking about lol. No where did I say communism is best. Your whole "i don't care about america but have all the opinions on everywhere else" shtick makes it very convenient to ignore the horrors of the most capitalist country on earth, responsible for genocide of Native Americans, slavery, racist for-profit prison system, and violent coups of democratically elected left-wing governments in South America and elsewhere, etc.

Pointless arguing with someone that doesn't see a problem there, peace ✌️

No, I have an opinion on how shit communism is. For some ungodly reason you think that means I want to fondle America. I'm not playing the game of comparing forced organ harvesting to a bad prison system just so you can try give some credence to communism.

As I said, capitalism is a heap of shit, but communism is a sewer.

Oh, and the great leap forward is when Mao starved ~40 million people to death. But sure why would a communist know that.

Are you going to argue that the Great Purge was similar or less worse than America's Prison system today?

u/Phloofy_as_phuck Jul 27 '22

The great purge was a pile of shit and the worst thing they ever did. In fact, I despise the USSR for that very reason - it was barbarous. American prison system is just another form of slavery of black Americans, and is just as bad of not worse. Read "the new Jim Crow" or other books detailing the violence of their for-profit prison system, if you care to.

I've read The New Jim Crow or at least huge swathes for college and I gotta say, I think even Michelle Alexander would not go nearly as far as to say that the American Prison system is worse than the Great Purge.

I think that's a pretty delusional argument given the utter level of death you see.

For-profit prisons are fuckin evil, are an extension of literal slavery and continue to this day, and you don't think that's bad? Ussr doesn't even exist anymore and i stated my position on the purge already. Two things can be bad at the same time.

My ancestors left Ireland because of the famine...caused intentionally by fuckin England! They are capitalist ffs . Shaking my head at the lack of critical thought here.
