Whenever socialism is tried it performs better than capitalism, across the board. Even in the case of the Soviet Union, where despite of the Wests invasion of Russia after WW1, sanctions, and four million Germans invading it, it became the second-largest economy in the world. The Soviets industrialized a poor, under-industrialized agrarian society in less than twenty years into an industrial juggernaut. It accomplished what took the US and Western Europe more than 140 years of industrialization, in just two decades. That's the power of socialism.
There is no path a socialist government puts you on by force as far as work or career, you're quite confused. You should read Marx and educate yourself. As far as the "gulag", the longest sentence was ten years and it was more of a work camp than anything else. There are prisons here in the US now that are worse than gulags and in this country you can get sentenced to as much as 1000 years.
Your death toll figures are groundless and amount to nothing more than capitalist cold-war propaganda.
