heheh penal labor exists in the us checkmate its the exact same as the gulag system so you cant be critical
What a shit argument.
@Advocatus Diaboli deflection
It's a kind of punishment
Nothing bad here
so was slavery then
here's the thing
a criminal in the US can't be sent to prison for wrongthink
Well Stalin used the penal labor system more for its labor than for penalizing people for committing crimes.
@FLanon true
it's completely different
Wrongthink?
the gulag was a sham
1984 @Advocatus Diaboli
I'm reading and it's really good
it was created fraudulently to mask the fact that they wanted slave labor
Ikr
I've read it
dude
they sent released prisoners of war to the gulags for forced labor
you read 1984 and you don't remember wrongthink
Ever heard of filtration camps
I’ve read it too and it’s exactly why I don’t want a fascist government

I can make 1984 look like a utopia
Most fascists are not totalitarian.
also 1984 was totalitarian
irma is right
I remember wrongthink, doublethink and so on
fascism is not what 1984 was about
Totalitarians are terrible
1984 is closer to Stalinism than fascism by leaps and bounds.

Wrong
it specifically was written as a response to stalinism
George Orwell was a socialist who was critical of the Soviet Union. And you think he was writing about fascism?
🤔
*1984* was specifically about fascism and its dangers.
not fascism
totalitarianism in general
