          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 🤷.

            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.

      The US has a massive racialized prison industrial complex. 25% of the world’s prison population. It’s The New Jim Crow. And that’s all before Guantanamo.

      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.
