You can seek to make a political point through doing things, through staging events, through executive orders or through singling people out. Regimes like that of Bukele are adept at creating situations that are designed to um einen bestimmten Effekt zu haben. Und deshalb ist es Teil dessen, was die Antwort sein muss.

The Gulag was also something that developed very slowly and it began with justifications. These were labor camps. People who had committed some minor crime or some offense or were a problem for the state were going to be made useful to the state.

So there was a whole ideology about labor and work and how these people were working off their crimes or their misdemeanors and they were contributing to the construction of socialism. And that was the slow build-up to it. But of course, as time went on and as it expanded, the faster it expanded, there were a couple moments when it went very fast, you know, in the 1930s.

Und dann wieder nach dem Krieg, als es sehr schnell ging, dann wurden alle Arten von Menschen verabschiedet. Und random Menschen wurden von ihren Nachbar-Nehbehörden genutzt, die ihre Wohnungen wollten. People would denounce their bosses at work so that they would get their job. The ugliest part of human nature was on show as the denunciations got wider and wider.

We're not at that stage yet, but there is a logic like that, that once it's okay to send a random person out of the country to a zone of lawlessness, once you can't get them back or you can't get the Venezuelan hairdresser back or even that you've sent a bunch of Venezuelans None of whose status we really know anything about. I mean, were they really illegal?

Were they, did they really commit crimes? And we have very little knowledge of that.

Once you've made the established that it's okay to do that under whatever ideology or explanation or justification, then if you can do it for one person, why can't you do it for ten people or a hundred people or a thousand people? And that was the logic. That was how the Soviet Gulag expanded. I mean, of course it was part of a much bigger system of fear and repression that we don't have yet.
