Gulags were bad; Bernie Sanders campaign operative wrong,

Project Veritas exposed a Bernie Sanders campaign operative, Kyle Jurek, revels how ignorant and dangerous Socialism actually is with his glorification of the Soviet Gulags. The Bernie Sanders campaign in Iowa did nothing about Jurek's comments other than lock their Twitter accounts. 
This is important because Kyle Jurek is a top-tier organizer and could be expected to have a role in a Bernie Sanders regime. Bernie Sanders may not believe in opening up American Gulags if he is elected president. However, he does believe in the ideology those same statist ideologies that open up the Gulags the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Therefore we need to evaluate the truth Jurek comments.
What we know about the Soviet Gulags did not all come from the CIA as Kyle Jurek claims. It was Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and not the CIA who told us about the Soviet Gulags in his books "The Gulag Archipelago," and "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich". Both these books are available for free on archive.org. My dad actually knew a survivor of the Soviet Gulag and he told us his story. My dad was friends with a survivor of a Soviet Gulag. He told us about his experience and it was horrifying.
 Kyle Jurek asserts that Stalin created the Gulags to reeducate Nazis into not being Nazis. It would not take years of re-education to change a National Socialist (NAZI) into a Soviet Socialist is a new uniform. The real purpose of the gulags was most likely to control the people with crushing fear, which they did very well. The fear of arrest for unknowable reasons pervaded live in all the Soviet-controlled countries. In the "The Gulag Archipelago", Solzhenitsyn wrote that "An arrest consists of a series of incidental irrelevancies, of a multitude of things that do not matter, and there seems no point in arguing about one of them individually...and yet all these incidental irrelevancies taken together implacably constitute the arrest. ”
Solzhenitsyn described the constant fear of arrest under Soviet Socialism “That's what arrest is: it's a blinding flash and a blow which shifts the present instantly into the past and the impossible into omnipotent actuality.
That is all. And neither for the first hour nor for the first day will you be able to grasp anything else.
Except that in your desperation, the fake circus moon will blink at you: "It's a mistake! They'll set things right!"
And everything which is by now comprised in the traditional, even literary, image of an arrest will pile up and take shape, not in your own disordered memory, but in what your family and your neighbors in your apartment remember: The sharp nighttime ring or the rude knock at the door.
The insolent entrance of the unwiped jackboots of the unsleeping State Security operatives. The frightened and cowed civilian witness at their backs. (And what function does this civilian witness serve? The victim doesn't even dare think about it and the operatives don't remember, but that's what the regulations call for, and so he has to sit there all night long and sign in the morning. 1 For the witness, jerked from his bed, it is torture too— to go out night after night to help arrest his own neighbors and acquaintances.” 
Contrary to what Kyle Jurek said, prisoners, were not paid a "living wage." Some were in re-education camps but most were in forced labor camps and some were elimination camps. Solzhenitsyn wrote “at the Samarka Camp in 1946 a group of intellectuals had reached the very brink of death: They were worn down by hunger, cold, and work beyond their powers, and they were even deprived of sleep. They had nowhere to lie down. Dugout barracks had not yet been built."
There is danger in what Kyle Jurek said. Even if you think he is way "out there," it will not be so if we elect a socialist president. Socialism is a grab for power. As Solzhenitsyn wrote, "Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty." It can happen here, all you have to do is nothing, and it will come.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote that "Modern society is hypnotized by socialism. It is prevented by socialism from seeing the mortal danger it is in. And one of the greatest dangers of all is that you have lost all sense of danger, you cannot even see where it's coming from as it moves swiftly towards you.
