Obama beat his friends in Venezuela to that socialist goal, forced labor. However, Venezuela may beat him on volume. For now.

International human rights activists are complaining that new laws have introduced forced labour in Venezuela.
"A new decree establishing that any employee in Venezuela can be effectively made to work in the country's fields as a way to fight the current food crisis is unlawful and effectively amounts to forced labor," Amnesty International said in a statement released on Thursday.
President Nicolás Maduro signed a decree at the end of last week that gives powers to the labor ministry to order "all workers from the public and private sector with enough physical capabilities and technical know-how" to join a government drive aimed at increasing food production.
They can be required to work in the agricultural sector for a 60-day period that can be extended for another 60 days "if the circumstances require it."

Sounds like Jonestown.
“The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. They call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of the Garden of Eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic post office. Every man but one a subordinate clerk in a bureau.”
— Ludwig von Mises

Like much of Latin America, I suspect many of the “Creoles” (Spanish-descended people) that still remain there have already gotten their children out. As these countries delve deeper into communism, the lighter-hued who ran them in the past are the first to flee - leaving behind darker, poorer, less-educated populations with hands outstretched to “white” countries. We’re watching the “Cubanization” of much of Latin America; Ecuador has used the US$ as currency for years now since they’ve veered leftwards. Sucres have joined Venezuelan Bolivares and Zimbabwean pounds (as well as French Francs, Italian Lira, Spanish Pesetas) as testaments to socialist ruin...
