      Gulags were prisons. And they were, in many ways, more humane and rehabilitation-focused than any Western prisons. This is scratching the surface of the issue.

      The real issue is you not bothering to fathom that the capitalists will fight tooth and nail, including psychologically, to stop the rise of the singular ideology that threatens their millenia of power.

        Can’t you see that you are pretty much doing psyop yourself? There’s no such thing as a good dictator. Stalin isn’t good because they sentenced to dead less political prisoners than the Tsar or Hitler. They are all shit. Do not worship a dictator.

          You may want to read the biography of Marx and the historical events of the 19th century. Wikipedia offers a good recap and data for further reading.

            You could read actual works by Marx but it would require being able to read pages longer than a Wikipedia article.

              Your assumption that the person you are talking to isn’t familiar with it gives away that you are full of bullshit. Pick up a bunch of history books irl and read them from start to finish. Stop learning from memes and reddit posts.

                Ok. I mean, I’m not going to do it IRL, since I have them on my tablet, but I’ll go read Blackshirts and Reds, Triumph of Evil, the Book of the Hopi, The Cold War and Its Origins, The Hidden History of the Korean War. I’ll also recommend you read them.

                Edit: How could I forget Killing Hope?!

                  Read them all and draw your own conclusions on whether Stalin was a brutal dictator or someone to worship. I suggest you to read on paper or eink display to not strain your eyes.
