RE: An American Gulag

Thank you for the books, @antisocialist. I am not sure what you are objecting to my text, but that text of Emma Goldman, where she says that there is no Communism in Russia, is exactly what I am saying all the time here. Those paragraphs of hers introduction are spot on:

In Russia there is no socialization either of land or of production and distribution. Everything is nationalized; it belongs to the government, exactly as does the post-office in America or the railroad in Germany and other European countries. There is nothing of Communism about it.

No more Communistic than the land and means of production is any other phase of the Soviet economic structure. All sources of existence are owned by the central government; foreign trade is its absolute monopoly; the printing presses belong to the state, and every book and paper issued is a government publication. In short, the entire country and everything in it is the property of the state, as in ancient days it used to be the property of the crown. The few things not yet nationalized, as some old ramshackle houses in Moscow, for instance, or some dingy little stores with a pitiful stock of cosmetics, exist on sufferance only, with the government having the undisputed right to confiscate them at any moment by simple decree.

Such a condition of affairs may be called state capitalism, but it would be fantastic to consider it in any sense Communistic.

The idea of communism is more humane world, devoid of exploitation. Inhuman State Capitalism of USSR was ‘communism’ only in its Imperial propaganda. Just as this is the case with the globalist ‘liberal’ propaganda. They are satanists in disguise.
