....All persons reaching the age of twenty-one shall report to the Unification Board, which shall assign them to where, in its opinion, their services will best serve the interests of the nation.

IIRC, wasn't this similar to one of Hillary's Health Care provisions...the Fed would determine which specialty a doctor could be directed to pursue, followed by job placement where the Fed directed.

From each everything they own or are or will be as determined by the Central Committee.

If we don’t destroy liberalism here, this is exactly what will happen here as well.

"Venezuela's economy has been in a tailspin since 2014, a year after the death of the architect of the country's decade-plus-long socialist revolution, Hugo Chavez."

No...Venezuela's "tailspin" started the very same day they elected the commie Chavez to be their dictator...

Maybe Sean Penn will come and pick beans for them...(snort)... :)

That's why the Soviet Union under Nikita Khrushchev specifically told Mao Zedong early in 1958 NOT to go through with the Great Leap Forward. Khrushchev saw personally what happened when Stalin's forced collectivization of farms from 1928 to 1934 may have killed at minimum 15 million Soviet citizens, particularly in the Ukraine. It's not a coincidence that allowing the farmers on collective farms to operate small vegetable farms started during the early 1960's.

Today, Venezuela is going to attempt a Great Leap Forward overhaul of the Venezuelan economy. And it's going to have the same disastrous consequences.

Sounds like North Korea to me! Heck even their Military is required to work the fields and road construction.
