    Both my parents were Sent-Down youths who lived 2 years in the country side and my dad is still very vocal that China should have kept doing this and they should do this in America. Based on the stories he tells, those two years were the most formative of his life.

    Chinese gusanos pretends that this was so horrible and called the Sent-Down youth 'China's lost generation' becuase it delayed them going to college for one or two years and it forced sheltered city kids to associate with the rural peasantry.

      Unlike the civilized West(TM) were they had mandatory military service that it's totally good akchually.

      And in a sense it was cuz randos got training in firearms but sadly also brutalized and fuck off with mandatory service

      I also think a year of mandatory "community service" for everyone would be a great idea to build solidarity and break down artificial divides.

      I also once read that in Czechoslovakia they had regular communal labour days where everybody was expected to help clean up their neighborhood. A great way of getting useful things done, build community and getting a break from everyday routine.

      just wanted to add that farm work and manual labor, despite being labeled “unskilled”, is actually technically challenging. those city kids were basically coasting on the farmers who provided room, board and food for free while being fairly useless for at least the first few months or so.
