Explanation: Despite the Soviet claim of having eliminated joblessness and homelessness, the awful truth is simply that such matters were an issue for arrest during the Stalinist era, and that, compounding this issue in examining the data, local authorities would often badger caught homeless folk to simply move on to be the next municipality's problem (and arrest statistic) so that they'd have better numbers to report up the chain. An ancient 'solution' to an ancient problem.

No you see the gulag was going to just "wither away" like the rest of the state
Communism’s so great.

Communism's great, a shame about the ML fucks who always seem to ruin things.
ML? I don't imagine you're referring to machine learning lol.
Marxist-Leninist - the kind of fellows who think "We can achieve Communism if only everyone falls in line under a fascist regime painted red." Soviet Union, People's Republic of China under Mao, those kind of folks.
Also known as tankies. And the .ml lemmy instances are unfortunately full of them.
