We're not blaming anything on communism to begin with, from the start we've been blaming two very specific communist dictator "state capitalists" Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin for killing tens of millions of people via policy which resulted in starvation, slave labor, wars, etc.
What were labor camps then? When prisoners are forced to work without compensation it is slave labor. A lot of the prisoners also were just political dissidents who got locked up for criticizing the wrong people.
