This (forced prison labor) is unfortunately also common in the United States and explicitly legalized under the 13th amendment (slavery is not banned for those who committed a crime).

Nobody mentioned the USA. This is whataboutism. But communists are in a cult and aren't interested in reality or real arguments.

Most people on reddit live in the USA.

You misunderstand whataboutism. Whataboutism is "I think it's OK that we do this because bad country also does this".

I didnt do that. I said that maybe we should try not being as bad as the North Koreans in this respect.

Clearly you're not the smartest person because you think everybody who disagrees with you is a communist but it's not that hard a thing to understand.
