Concentration Camp Labor Cannot Become Normal TIMOTHY SNYDER JUL 04, 2025 With the passage of Trump's death bill, we face the prospect of many great harms, including an archipelago of concentration camps across the United States. Concentration camps are sites of tempting slave labor. Among many other aims, the Soviets used concentration camp labor to build canals and work mines. The Nazi German concentration camp systemfollowed a capitalist version of the same logic: it drew in businesses with the prospect of inexpensive labor. We know this and have no excuse not to act.

Yikes. The soviets freed europe from the nazis and are the first party to be named when concentration camps are mentioned.

Even in the direst of times, discrediting a foreign country with a far superior economic system still seems paramount. Its shows how deep anticommunism goes.

Concentration camps were a form of impromptu prison for a patsy population to get out of society. That is what happened in germany and happens again in germany and the US now.
