    Rather, the USSR criminalized being homeless and not being engaged in socially-productive labor; people that were homeless ended up in prisons and were labelled as parasites.

    Swap USSR with USA and the statement remains true. Though Im sure the degree of severity was much greater in the USSR.

      If homeless people go to prison in this country, why have I never seen one arrested? Why are they … not in prison but rather sleeping on the street?

      I’m not sure what you’re trying to claim here, as what you’re claiming is obviously false based on my day to day experience in the US
