Wont somebody please think of the poor princes??? How many kids had to grow up without their nazi collaborator dad there to guide them on the path of fascism anticommunism?
The etymology of GULAG is: “the acronym of Гла́вное управле́ние исправи́тельно-трудовы́х лагере́й (Glávnoje upravlénije ispravítelʹno-trudovýx lageréj, “Chief Administration of Corrective-Labor Camps”)” emphasis mine, as it corresponds directly to the above, specifically the camps under the O.G.P.U. These are where those with harsher sentences were sent, as seen in the chart (3-10 years)
fair enough do you have that graph comparing gulag mortalities in the 50s to amount of DOJ prisoner deaths by any chance? It might be an even better illustration.
Ignoring the part where they’re 100% right about spanish anarchists throwing people in camps because it’s inconvenient for your bullshit lol, try again
authoritarianism is when the government that has real control over things that matter and uses it to control up. when a private citizen kicks you out of their club it’s just called a disagreement.
it’s more about power balance. a mod on a forum has no real meaningful power over anything that matters.
“the government” is too narrow of a term, but it does need to be a person with power and control over others. right now corporations are the real centers of power in this world. they are largely authoritarian.
people saying they don’t want to hang out with you is not that.
Every successful country has to express some level of Authority to maintain its existence. Especially the USSR which, you know, defeated Nazi Germany almost single handedly. Was that them being “tankies”?
Another example, Vietnam would look like Gaza city if they didn’t express authority. Same with DPRK aka “north Korea “
It’s a marketplace of ideas right up until you make them look stupid, then they conveniently forget their opposition to authoritarianism just long enough to suppress all dissenting opinions

Afaik not true. The average westerner may think so, but GULAG is an acronym for a specific part of the system.
copypasted my earlier comment
if you would consult the chart from chapter 10:
The etymology of GULAG is: “the acronym of Гла́вное управле́ние исправи́тельно-трудовы́х лагере́й (Glávnoje upravlénije ispravítelʹno-trudovýx lageréj, “Chief Administration of Corrective-Labor Camps”)” emphasis mine, as it corresponds directly to the above, specifically the camps under the O.G.P.U.

NOBODY is more Tankie than Stalin and the T-34
But “almost single-handedly?” Come on now, don’t be silly
