We aren't looking for communism
After WW2 when the whole country was experiencing a mass casualty event caused by Nazis (defined as members or supporters of the NSDAP and their political project, or anyone who materially supported them even if they later professed to be ideologically opposed to them, since I guess "what's a Nazi, exactly" is something you want to nitpick about), prisoner death rates were very high. Again, free civilian and soldiers' death rates were also very high. There was limited food and Nazis were killing everyone.
Once the Soviets had a few years of industrialized society during which nobody was trying to commit a genocide against them, death rates in prison plummeted. I reject the idea that "gulags" are different in a meaningful way from prisons as understood by most modern westerners.

Kamala Harris is firmly committed to the extermination of the Palestinian people, she's not Captain Janeway. This is asinine.
I pretty much always go ibuprofen, but aspirin is fine.
I'm pretty sure acetaminophen is snake oil though (this is a joke but I can't recall ever having it resolve a headache for me like ibuprofen does).
Great time to get into, oh, any RPG that isn't connected to WOTC.
Ton of options available, including many designed to offer similar experiences to various editions of D&D if that's your jam.
No, I think he's saying that it makes it more miserable and mysterious, but only for poor people, which he is not and therefore the status quo is good.
