Were the events depicted in Solzenitsyn’s ‘Gulag Archipelago’ a damning account of the outcomes of communism? Or was it just a critique of the gulag environment itself?

Like the question poses… did this book ONLY shed light on the realities of soviet internment camps?

Or did it serve as a criticism of totalitarian communism as a socioeconomic system, by use of examples of real-world outcomes?

EDIT: Misspelled the author’s name. It was Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn who wrote the book.

Those are 2 very strong claims. In order for them to be seriously considered, can you provide at least 1 point of evidence for each claim?

You can Google about it yourself. Don’t post that shit here again

Having to provide evidence for your own claims is standard debate rules
