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.
Of course, there was no other party, it was a single party system, why would you even have other parties.
That is not true and you know it, I’ve never heard of anyone just shouting that Stalin is this or that and being arrested for it. As I said, you had to shit on the system for months at a time to be even arrested. I don’t know in which USSR you lived, that’s not the one I know of.
I lived in USSR. No you do not.
I was being sarcastic. I don’t want to live in ANY dystopian system.
Could you please elaborate what was so bad back then?
Gulag
The US have Guantanamo, you don’t see them shitting on ther country for it.
How many US citizens who simply orally disagreed with US policy are jailed in Guantanamo?

You could be a communist in US (and in many other parties). You could not be in any party other than communist in USSR and be free.
And under Stalin, if you shout that Stalin is a pussy, yes you were going to be arrested.

It does not matter why would you try to form another party. You would be arrested.
And as for shouting Stalin is pussy - people were arrested for the less - for privately told political anecdotes in those times.
EVERYONE shits on them for it, including US citizens.
And shitting about it didn’t actually close it down, did it 😒.
Are you from the former ussr? Straight talk for a second.
No, another ex socialist country. We had Goli Otok, USSR had the Gulag.
