The Chinese government has in recent years established many concentration camps in Xinjiang, or in their term, “vocational re-education and training centers”, for imprisoning local ethnic minorities and dissidents. Unlike regular imprisonment or detention, people are held here without any prior court trial The period of their imprisonment is no longer determined by courts but becomes endless.

      I want to return to the times when everyone had food, housing, education, and jobs guaranteed. I want to return to a time when nobody worried about losing their jobs and living on the street. The time when nobody worried whether they could retire in dignity.

      Meanwhile, US right now holds over 20% of world’s prison population. That’s incarceration rate higher than USSR had under Stalin. US prison labor is also used as literal slave labor. US has more gulags than USSR ever did you ignoramus.

      And as Chomsky explains. US is living under a totalitarian culture much worse than Soviet Union. Soviet Russia could access BBC, Voice of America, German TV. Today Americans are not permitted to hear what Russians are saying. The US has imposed constraints on access to info beyond Soviets.

      And this level of censorship produces ignoramuses such as yourself.
