    Supposedly gulag system at good times(i.e. not during WWII) had a better record than US prison system.

      Yeah I've seen some things to that effect. I was more addressing the "__ goes to the gulag" or "__ gets the wall" as a meme rather than the actual implementation (which varied).

      It's a fine line between upholding the socialist principles of treating people humanely, and doing what is necessary to ensure the success of a revolutionary movement (which regretfully may entail some amount of violence).

      I guess its privileged of me to consider it regretful, I'm sure some comrades who have had systemic abuse directed at them will feel differently, but that's not exactly my battle to fight.
