What would all of the the laws be if they were "Stalinized"? Privacy Rights, Police Regulation, Drug Law, Human Rights, and so on.

[SlatersQuest]

Labor, Corporate, Flag Burning, Tax, and Gun Control laws are all L+. Everything else is C+.

But how would it be described in true Liberal Crime Squad fashion? Ex. Stalinized privacy laws being described as "Totalitarianism is here and the secret police patrol the streets."

Burning of the Soviet Flag is a heinous crime imaginable only to the class enemies.
Workers' militia is encouraged and unrestricted to wage class warfare on the traitors in all ways deemed necessary.
No lethal weapons are in circulation to be obtained by socially unconscious elements.
Borders are firmly shut against dangerous substances from the decadent west. (I'm unsure here - the "decadent west" seems more a thing of 70s)
Workers' rights are firmly upheld by the state against any infringement or exploitation by the alien elements.

wait, you definitely wouldn't have been able to get away with burning the flag. people got years for wrapping food into newspapers with portraits on them

"Flag burning" in this case refers to laws about burning the flag of the former United States. It's an action the Stalinists would proudly support, as they support all forms of protests against the capitalist order. All other forms of "free" speech would be counterrevolutionary and banned.

I didn't really even think of the idea of the Stalinists having their own flag. Maybe flags are themselves counterrevolutionary?

I would imagine a red flag with the siclkle-and-mortar.
Of course, burning this would earn the culprit a one-way trip to the nearest Canadian labor camp, if the State Executioner was on a sick leave.

i don't think mandatory abortions were a thing but they certainly add to the scare. Great list

[FinetalPies]

Anyone owning a gun is executed by firing squad. (Gun control)

Hahaha, the irony. Nicely done

Actually, Liberal Elitist wrote them. :-)

This just made me wonder about Lenin's stances on the issues.

[Legalized abortion.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Russia#1920-1936)
[Legalized homosexuality.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_history_in_Russia#LGBT_rights_following_the_Revolution:_1917.E2.80.931933)
[Guns restricted to hunting rifles.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/1c65dc/how_common_was_gun_ownership_in_the_soviet_union/)

Probably some others, but it's kind of hard to find sources without actively going through books.
Or maybe I just suck at Google.

Homosexuality was a criminal charge (one of many) levelled against Nikolay Yezhov during actual Stalinist Terror in Russia, so I imagine hypothesised version of Stalinist America should punish it with death.

Hunting rifles in private posession were common post-Stalin, but Stalin himself did some effort to seize them before WWII so I'd support the Liberal Elitists' version of banning all private firearms (LCS's Stalinists should be exaggerated, after all)

The Stalinist Crime Squad began as the Leninist Crime Squad
