For some reasons I thought more or less forced labor has always been part of the communist doctrine.

You are suppossed to always have a job whether you like it or not. The Xjinjiang thing brings this to a new level but I'm not entirely surprised.

When were the dissidents treated fairly in communist systems?

I don't know why you're downvoted, it's absolutely true, all communist countries considered not having a job to be a very serious crime punished with many years in prison.
