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.
