In rererence to your other post, lots of countries have the death penalty, and the Guantanomo Bay prison is nothing more than a gulag. Don`t the the US have ever engineered a famine within their own borders though.

The book is 900 pages of depression, I have only managed 265 of them before I was too 'down' to read any more. I havent opened it for 2 years till tonight. One day I will finish it.
Guantanomo bay has food, doctors, heating/air con, sanitation and shelter. Buy the book and read about
real gulags.
Marxist/Leninist/Stalinist, I don't care, It's all about controlling people and their lives by force and eliminating those that don't agree. If we lived in a communist state we would not be free to be typing on this forum without worrying about who is watching us.
...but we digress from the threads topic
