    This is honestly a great idea, taking hundreds of thousands (and eventually millions) of privileged, educated youth from cities and sending them to live in the the countryside so they can learn from the peasantry. This will rejuvenate the revolutionary ardor of the current generation, who are in danger of backsliding into revisionist and right-roadist tendencies.

    Can anyone now deny the revolutionary nature of the Democratic Party when they so closely follow the principles of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.

      I was thinking more Pol Pot honestly, sending all urbanites into the countryside and put them on collective farms. Depending on your view of people on this sub, most people here would end up on these farms and I, as the follower of the only true form of Marxism–Leninism, would be your party ordained overseer.

        China did do this at the end of the Cultural Revolution, the Down to the Country Movement, ostensibly for the reason I mentioned, to make urban youth learn about the hardships of rural life by living with the peasantry. Although unlike in Cambodia, the intention was never to empty the cities and ruralize the whole country, only high school kids were sent down to the country while their parents stayed in the city and they were allowed to return after one or two years.

          Fine, as the official overseer, I'll only make it 10 years. Thank you for your input, you will be given a position as camp food inspector when you start your stint.

      Please, comrade, before you do this, consider me. The impact of having a bunch a technocratic lib weirdos move in would absolutely ruin the reasons I like living in the sticks.
