    Right? Lmao who is going to tell them that forced prison camps in Siberia weren’t a Soviet invention but a feudal/capitalist one?

        In my experience this doesn’t work because they usually just say that the USSR metrics are unreliable and that they were hiding huge numbers of prisoners.

          What do they do when you tell them that NATO plundered everything, all classified documents and all the records they kept internally once Yeltsin suddenly dissolved the Soviet Union and dismantled the government for them?

          When the entire Soviet prison system was transferred over to pro-NATO stooges like Yeltsin, in that chaos, where were the prisoners? The supposed graves where they should have been?

            And also how all the "communism killed 3000 quadrillion small puppies" estimates got revised down two orders of magnitude once the USSR internal documents were available.

          I hate it when 100s of millions of people conspire to keep secrets from America. It's not as bad as a billion people in China hiding their corona virus numbers from America.

          I just know those Asiatics are up to something.

      explaining for the 1,264,567th time that around the time that work camps were abolished under the Soviets, Americans were innovating "for-profit prisons"
