    Socialism, communism is an economic system. Which I support 100%.

    But, taking USSR as an example, you cant deny the existence of the gulags. Thats not a socialist construct, but a dictatorship construct. Regardless of whether its socialist or communist or capitalist.

    Capitalist “gulags” are the world we life in today. We aren’t stuck behind bars but we are forced into a system of wealth creation for the elite. We scrape out an existence wherever possible. That is the capitalist gulag.
