@sourdough6490 your last point about insistence on building socialism in an agrarian country is literally just dismissal of the fact that in developed countries, socialism was met with fascism like the video you see there, you seem to use the argument of socialism in all countries and claim that the Soviets should have kept waiting for the Germans and other Scandinavian countries to be successful in their socialist revolution, but the reality was far from what was idealised and only the Soviets went ahead with building socialism in one country as Marxism still never had a true answer towards Fascism
Expecting socialism to be developed on advanced countries is still a pipe dream which socialists still fail to understand as Fascism at those times in every country crushed any serious revolutionary potential that was carried, ask the Paris commune how their revolution went and the German revolution too, they were met with fascists who completely dismantled their organisation all because they never built up any serious organisation and a sufficient military force or created any dictatorship of the Proliteriat to enact these forces
Lenin and the Soviets were successful as they had developed a proper organisation which was harsh enough to combat Fascism which was exactly the solution back then and the same thing done by Stalin who implemented the teachings of Lenin into practice,Fascism crushed any serious Marxist movement and still does to this day put out any working class movement, and making concessions with the bourgeois never ended well for the revolutionaries and even small scale attacks towards the bourgeois is pointless especially when the bourgeois has always had enough military power to put them down too
The Soviets had a stricter police force and anti capitalist ideology as they understood that any form of monopoly created by opportunists within the working class itself has in the past led to many socialist states collapsing like with Vietnam which turned revisionist after Ho Chi Minh died
but even then their policies towards those arrested was not nearly close to being as worse as the US Empire which still to this day employs prison labour with no benefits, insufficient healthcare as prisoners usually die of curable diseases and serious gang violence within the prisons themselves which is encouraged by law enforcement within as to justify harsher sentences while for the Soviets the so called "Gulags" the sentencing did not even last 10-20 years and only worst offenders of the state actually got serious sentences and all the while they received free healthcare, education systems being employed and other stuff which never gets mentioned in the "horrors of the Gulags"
The Soviets only had poorer conditions in the Gulags during the times of the famine or during ww2 where there was serious food shortages and thousands of prisoners died cause of it which these separate incidents are obviously propagandized to make the Soviets obviously look like the boogeyman, sure there were some serious flaws within the Soviet policing systems but considering the situations they were in and then claiming they should be held completely accountable for circumstances beyond their control is just false rhetoric used by the capitalists obviously to demonize any socialist states from the past
