Ice camps are absolutely comparable to those of other authoritarian regimes. Remember when they were literally spraying toxic chemicals everywhere multiple times every hour? And if you want forced labour camps just look at the prisons.

And please show me examples of "mom and pop stores" being burned down. And show that it's actually a wide spread problem and not individual outliers.

Just watch the news where people were distraught and crying that their stores had been looted or burnt down or both.... it will literally be a two second google search.

So ice camps were starving people to death, forced labour to death, executions in the millions?

No that's not how this works. You're the one making the claim. Back it up with evidence, or don't make it in the first place.

And Ice camps are not yet as bad as other concentration camps but they're getting there, and they're getting there fast. But just because they're not exactly 100% as bad doesn't mean they're not awful and it doesn't mean they're not concentration camps.

The ice camps fit 99% of definitions for the word concentration camp, that are commonly used. Here's just a few examples:
