Kentuck wants the government to start work farms.

[GOBUCKS]

I agree with the DUmmy, but I don't think these work camps should be in the continental U.S. It would be much better if they were located in American territories or protectorates like Samoa, or Midway, or Wake, or the Marianas Islands.

There could be a network of such camps, and DUmpmonkeys who have given up on America could be designated for mandatory resettlement.

It's a system that worked great for Stalin for 30 years, and it would avoid keeping these DUmbasses among us in the re-education centers most of the DUmmies believe were built for Wal-Mart.

Gotta disagree with you GOBUCKS. Remember your history from WWII when the Empire of Japan siezed Wake, Guam then tried to sieze Midway and the absolute panic it caused in the West. Them stupid DU bastards would at the very least hand those gateways to the Chinese.

Far better to put them to work in the frozen interior of Alaska where we'd only have to keep an eye on them for one short summer of fun for them, playing with wildlife.

Whatever the bears and wolves don't "recycle" the winter will make DUmmie-cicles out of.

[Mr Mannn]

Every now and then, DUmmies reveal their TRUE innermost desires.

Progressive run "work camps" translate to re-education camps.
All we need to do is open the gate and slavery, punishment, and organized executions follow.

What did Ayers say, for the revolution to succeed 25 million Americans would have to die?
Ship them to a farming work camp where (out of sight from the rest of the country) the commies can weed out their undesirables. 

Germany did not use the words: Death Camps. They told the world that Jews were sent there for their own protection. Jews held meaningful jobs and enjoyed many rights. That the world bought this obvious lie reveals a lot about the world at that time (and why the Jews needed their own country).

Gems like this are why I watch DU. They project on others what they truly desire to do themselves.

[zeitgeist]

DUmmies know, of course, come the revolution the first ones to the camps are teachers. 

During the Chinese Cultural Revolution the Communist Party built and utilized what were referred to as re-education camps. These camps were essentially prisons in which the detainees were forced to work. Those sent to the camps were often teachers, doctors, thinkers, writers, or politicians whose views were either considered “counter-revolutionary”or who were simply denounced by members of the Red Guard for any number of reasons. Communist Party thought of the time was that anyone who was against the Revolution—a category which included most intellectuals—was considered bourgeois, and therefore time spent doing tough labor in the camps would provide them the empathy for the common worker that they were surely lacking. In addition, many political opponents were sent tithe camps, including Deng Xiaoping himself, who was interned there three times and would eventually become the leader of the Chinese Communist Party.

You seem to believe the DUmmies would be free to move around outside the perimeter of the camps.

Each camp would be staffed by a small garrison of troops to maintain order and discipline.

They would distribute food, water, and unlimited Quaaludes to the democrats assigned to their camp.

For off-duty troops, these places could be made into tropical paradises. For the DUmmies, not so much.

[DumbAss Tanker]

I like the islands idea, GOBUCKS, but I'd go for the outer Aleutians.

[franksolich]

And surely the primitives shouldn't have any problem with that.

After all, the primitives liked it that the socialists in Russia sent lots to Kolyma.

If Kolyma was good enough for the decent and civilized people suffering under the socialist jack-boot, then the Aleutians should be good enough for the primitives.

And like those sent to Kolyma, the primitives should have to build their own dwellings too.

Hopefully, the one that had the nuke tests in the 60s and 70s.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Sadly I don't think there is any gold for them to mine in the frozen muck of Attu and Kiska, unlike Kolyma's, so the enterprise wouldn't show the same cash return as Stalin's.  Still, the advantage of there being no possible route off the little green Hells would make it worthwhile.

      Hey lurking DUmmies, you sure you want Communist rule? 

[GOBUCKS]

Well, I suggested the tropical locations out of concern for the comfort of the garrison troops.

They would be no less inhospitable for the inmates, and much less harsh for the troops. They're also more remote than the Aleutians.

It could be similar to the French philosophy on Devil's Island, but on a much larger scale.

Why the need for garrison troops?  A few extra bags of Cheetos and some Mountain Dew and some of the lefties will be more than willing to keep their boots on the throats of the workers.

[Odin's Hand]

Adolph and Joseph are smiling.

Pssh, more like Mao.

This is lifted straight from the "Down to the Countryside Movement" of the Cultural Revolution. There are estimates that 20,000 or so young "Red Guards" died from starvation or hypothermia during the enaction of this policy by the politburo.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Yeah, there is no shortage of water on the Aleutians, they're downright soggy.  A C17 out of any of several Alaskan bases can drop Cheetos and the odd can of kerosene to them once a week...weather permitting...garrison not really necessary. 

[Skul]

An old friend of mine survived the Pol Pot fiasco.
I seriously doubt he would welcome another.

Lest we forget, the DUmmies advocating this "change", do not see themselves as the work force.
They view themselves as the "administrators", of said work force.
A common delusion, seemingly held by all of them.

That's pretty much what every Communist Party member in the Gulag thought, too, until they actually were on the train to Siberia or the Kola Peninsula.  Even then, many of them died saying "If only Stalin knew!"

Although I have to say there is definitely some rational justification for the DUmmies not seeing themselves as any kind of "Work force," that will really have nothing to do with them ending up on the bad side of the electrified wire and the 'dead line.'

How many "5-year plans" did the USSR have that were supposed to improve their agricultural output?

That would explain why we had to sell them all that wheat back in the 60's & 70's.   

[franksolich]

Well, well.

Don't everybody forget to stop by CelticRose's thread in the Spa.

Another one's coming to Nebraska (but not to buy real-estate to give to hippies).

What about the comfort of those of us who already live in the tropics ?

You think we need any more filthy unwashed hippies about in these parts stinking up the breeze and oiling up the oceans ?

There was actually more ruthless, cynical brutality than mere ineptitude involved in Stalin's plans, grain exports were his major source of hard currencies, so while Ukraine and Belarus starved (And I mean no-shit starved, to the point of cannibalism), the Stalin was exporting the grain that could have fed his people.
