Hahahahahahaha good one.

You’re right, everyone loved Stalin. The gulags were such a nice spot for the people to relax and enjoy controlling the means of production.

gulags we’re prisons. why should they be a nice place for criminals?

Criminals as subjectively determined by the leadership of a nation led by a system, which exterminated resistance and abolished freedom. That you’re defending that system, which leveraged hunger as an extermination tool is abhorrent.

the thing is, ussr had a really strange definition of what was a "criminal" and many of them were arguably innocent people
