      No one is in a US prison who has not had the opportunity to be present at their trial or know why they are charged.

      The nation I am talking about ceased to exist decades ago so whatever “your country” is it isn’t the USSR which is what we are talking about.

        and i am telling you your prision system (and mine, but mainly yours) is worse than even the exaggerations portrayed as soviet gulags.

          Not according to people I know who experienced both. In the USA you know your charges and you might not be enslaved.

          The USSR was evil and racist. It’s one of the reasons why they failed.

            the US prision system legally and literally enslaves people today. prisioners work in the US.

            the US is evil and racist today. your gulags hold almost a quarter of the planet’s entire prision population.

              hence the “might not get enslaved”. You might not get enslaved in the US system. The USSR was enslaving all in the gulags.

              As you have repeatedly backed the evils of an authoritarian racist system are you in a place to judge anyone morally?

              Please change, we don’t need more people defending racism.

                so thats a big change of tone here. my man the US system is the most brutal in the planet, especially for people outside of it. trump is only giving you a small taste of what you do to us. you can’t put 20% of the planet in prision and take the moral high ground.

                you guys are the only ones who need changing. the real racism is what you do to black people and latino immigrants TODAY. please look inside before trying to use propaganda to smear a country that hasnt existed for 4 decades as if that makes the west any less awful.

                  No it’s what was said in a previous post. Your lack of reading comprehension in this case is worth noting in light of what follows which is incorrect and inane.

                    is us imperialism not a thing? is that incorrect?

                    or is it the brutality of your prisions?
