Hum… and? Outside of the propaganda, yea gulags and? I don’t see the point.

Are you saying prisons are bad? I agree, I’m fully a prison abolitionist. But I don’t see how saying “look prisons!” is any argument against the USSR in particular.

Prisons have existed for a long time everywhere. And many times and in many places were much worse than the gulags.

Just keep in mind that again, 90% of what you read on gulags is literal Cold War and Nazi propaganda…

You're full of bullshit. Cite your sources that Gulags were like a typical prison, because they are obviously not.

Exporting 18 million people to the middle of fucking nowhere where it reaches -53C to work camps outside resulting in millions of deaths is definitely not normal.
