Even Stalin didn’t run death camps. He was more into the re-education thing. And if it took 30 years at hard labor to re-educate you, so be it.

Yeah - he did. I'm currently reading "GULAG" by Anne Applebaum. Chilling!

Naah, re-education was more Mao’s thing. Stalin’s gulags mostly just worked you to death.

You need to bust out your copy of Gulag Archipelago and re-read it. For crying out loud, he executed his own soldiers returning from WWII least they start talking about what they had seen in free countries.

Except for the annoying fact that your life expectancy in the slave labor camps and projects was probably less than five years.

Yes he did. Go back and study the history of the Soviet Union and Stalin.

Do your homework before you say some more silliness.

You’re right. And when Stalin died, many in the camps wept.

For a guy who wasn’t trying to run death camps, he sure was successful in killing people in them.
