            What exactly do you expect us to do? Storm Cuba ourselves? The US government doesn’t have a habit of doing what I tell it to.

              I don’t know, maybe organize protests, do awareness campaigns, get people to sign petitions, etc.

              Hey, the Gulag and Goli Otok are gone, Guantanamo is still up and running. The ball is in your hands now, not ours 🤷.

                You said you don’t see people shitting on Guantanamo, but tons of people do. That’s all I was replying to.

            What does that have to do with what you originally said?

              Well, yours prison of doom still exists and all you do is shit about it. At least ours are gone, but yet we still hear about it non-stop… I mean, it’s gone, it’s history, get over it, yet it gets brought up over and over, and the one remaining and still working doesn’t get nearly as much attention as the Gulag.

        How many US citizens who simply orally disagreed with US policy are jailed in Guantanamo?

          Oh please, you had to shit left and right about Stalin or Lenin or communism in general, for months at a time, to be even sent to prison, let alone the Gulag. Gulag was for political prisoners, not some shmuk with a bottle of vodka shouting that Stalin is a pussy.

          On the other hand, if you so much as whispered that you’re a US communist during the cold war, you’re on the CIA watch list, that’s for sure.

            You could be a communist in US (and in many other parties). You could not be in any party other than communist in USSR and be free.

            And under Stalin, if you shout that Stalin is a pussy, yes you were going to be arrested.

              Of course, there was no other party, it was a single party system, why would you even have other parties.

              That is not true and you know it, I’ve never heard of anyone just shouting that Stalin is this or that and being arrested for it. As I said, you had to shit on the system for months at a time to be even arrested. I don’t know in which USSR you lived, that’s not the one I know of.

                It does not matter why would you try to form another party. You would be arrested.

                And as for shouting Stalin is pussy - people were arrested for the less - for privately told political anecdotes in those times.
