If, Buddha-willing, we get another shot at this shit and get the chance to try and enact a dictatorship of the proletariat, what do comrades here think we should actually do regarding prison systems, e.g. for political enemies? What do we think of reeducation camps? How should they be organised?

      Yes, I agree, the Soviets were heavy handed due to the Civil War and later due to political infighting and Nazi infiltration. Gulags are bad and these are also bad.

      Which is why I stated these post-revolutionary institutions are only for those who are direct dangers, not just people grumbling idly online. And also that there be no retribution, coercion, or forced indoctrination in them, and free movement and labour choice within them. We're talking about the surviving billionaires, police, "Dark Enlightenment" intellectuals, and proud boys here.

      For the vast majority of ordinary people in society material experience, subtle media hegemony with controlled dissent, and a good deal of spying will be enough. The process of Social Engineering I'm afraid will take decades, and a lot of experiments and failures but that's beyond the scope of the question, which is what do we do with those who can't live in the early days of a better nation.
