I just discovered that Radical Reviewer believes the western account of the 1932 Ukranian famine, and I could not be more disappointed.

    isn't it incredible how literally everything western sources say about stalin and the soviet union is a lie?

          Gulags were shut down for a reason. They were questionable, especially because they weren't used for just re-education. Having a system of forced labor as a means of being allowed into the proletariat after existing as a hostile member of the bourgeoise or as one of their allies is okay in my books, make them work to rebuild what they destroyed for a year or two (giving them housing and healthcare), then allow them back into the urban centers and they'll appreciate the communal housing and 6 hour 4 day work weeks.
