12. Youth camps devoted to health discipline, community service and ideological teaching consistent with those of the authorities.

There's one very amusing caveat to this rule with the kids: adherence.

Kids today are so enmeshed in their social media, self-aggrandizing media websites, cable TV, and video games that trying to get kids on board with any sort of "health discipline," which usually involves sweating, any sort of community service, or any sort of ideological teaching is going to be VERY difficult.

The Fabians, the progressives, and the Alinskyites wrote their manifestos during a time when newspapers ruled the roost. These days, kids are so interconnected and lazy that many of their formerly-workable solutions are falling completely flat because kids are fickle.

This is the fundamental problem with liberalism: they don't think like adults or for adults. When they try to draw in the kids, they're working with very unreliable portions of the populace.

I'm not so sure. History has shown kids take to fascism like ducks to water - especially if they are products of a school system that imparts zero critical thinking skills. Give them a chance to win a free XBox cartridge for turning in their gun-stashing parents and they'll go for it every time.
