This is disrespectful to common sense.

The number of people KILLED in the mentioned Gulags is in the millions. The total number of killed by the regime is estimated as ~~20 million people. The number of people imprisoned in the US is just a bit north of a million.

Having a mass murderer on a picture and trying to picture it as "wasn't as bad as the US now" is distasteful. Have self-respect, spend effort and verify the numbers. Think critically about the picture you're thinking to upvote.

P.S. I'm not a US citizen or resident. In terms of freedoms, both the Soviet Union was terrible, and a lot of the events happening in the US right now are terrible.

"USA bad so Soviets good" is also propaganda.

Frankly not a tankie or a capitalist, but I'm pretty sure Stalin was shitty for other reasons. Admirable reasons at time as in the case of being a cold-mother fucker enough to gank his own son for the revolution. But reasons, surely.
