      Wikipedia is notoriously untrustworthy and gets brigades heavily by the CIA, especially on topics like this.

      For better sources, use this. Look for gulags and the purges you mention and see what is written.

        There’s just as much the CIA can patch, Wikipedia still provide a good account of famous historical events and plenty cross links, you can search for yourself and read the individual history of many who died on gulags or that got send there. Not even the CIA can spin history 360 degrees

        If you have even better sources to wikipedia that’s good but your link redirect to reddit and vague articles and even to wikipedia itself

          For starters you could read actual socialist theory but I know you won’t. If you’re truly acting in good faith, give youtuber Hakim a listen. Or The Deprogram podcast. Or Second Thought. They have various videos covering a multitude of starter* topics and they provide sources with their claims.

          Edit: if you’re looking for insights on how the CIA does spin history 180 degrees (360 is a circle, btw, you’d end up at the same point) then give The Jakarta Method a read.
