Oh yes, nothing surprising from Jimmy Wales, who thinks capitalism is bad but communism is worse. Both-siding but punching left harder than right.
Although I'm surprised about the gulags article. According to that, only 8.8% of inmates lost their lives (2.5 M out of 18 M). Looks like nobody takes Stéphane Courtois (The Black Book of Communism) seriously anymore.
For reference, between 60 and 90% of concentration camp inmates were murdered by nazis. Gulags were meant to re-educate, not kill, but abuses took place. Nazi camps were meant to exterminate.
