That's a long list of strawmen. Whataboutism is no defense. And that's all you got. Whether or not the US jails more people. Doesn't excuse the brutally and abuses of ML countries and the fascist states they evolve into more often than not. I'm sure you honestly forgot 2 weeks ago. Where the modern Russia you enable and defend. Killed a political prisoner after repeated assassination attempts. Again, this is not a defense of the US. Just pointing out your blatant hypocrisy.
It's also quaint that you think a fascist like Putin was somehow benevolently concerned about other fascists. It was a bullshit excuse from the day he made it.
If you honestly think the USSR were liberators. I suggest you go talk to actual former Soviet block countries who lived under it. And finally got liberated from it. There's a reason they tore down all those monuments and statues erected by the murderous autocratic politburo.
