We all know that the west uses two different words for the same thing depending on where it is happening.

e.g. Secret Police vs Plainclothes Officer
Regime vs Government

Can we have a compilation thread of these words? I am probably using many of them unconsciously without critical examination.

technically non-voluntary labour is forced, yes, although that's also true for rehabilitation through labour (potentially a good thing) and "forced labour" has a negative connotation
