    I literally said “liquidating you as a class” as a possible retaliation. “Gulags” is not a gotcha, if you hoard or destroy food during a famine you are committing murder and you need to be stopped for the good of society.

    By the way, the US prison population today is higher than the Gulag population of the entire Soviet Union at its peak. I’d sure as hell rather see gulags full of reactionaries and food-burners than full of drug users and the chronically unemployed. I’m curious, why do you prefer the latter?

      Well being worked to death and/or being strait up shot tends to keep those numbers down. And how many of those “hoarders” were quite literally starving but they had a tiny bit on hand? And how many more were in there for “anti-soviet behavior” instead of anything related to hoarding or destroying food.

      “Gulags” is not a gotcha

      Gulags, concentration camps and the like are definitely a “gotcha” as much as a “gatcha” can exist.

      Tankie apologetics 101:

      1. Every victim of Bolshevik aggression deserved it
      2. What about America?

        it blows my mind the lengths that online rightists will go to to defend literally burning food during a famine. Why?
