A new decree by Venezuela's government could make its citizens work on farms to tackle the country's severe food shortages.
That "effectively amounts to forced labor," according to Amnesty International, which derided the decree as "unlawful."
In a vaguely-worded decree, Venezuelan officials indicated that public and private sector employees could be forced to work in the country's fields for at least 60-day periods, which may be extended "if circumstances merit."

-- It scares the beejeeses out of me that nearly half the population of the USA has NO CLUE that the democrat party and Maduro sing from the same hymnal. --
Democrats see the government as benevolent. They could not be farther from the truth.
Take note young socialists. In the end the yoke will be placed around your neck.
This all started when Chavez convinced the people that unequal prosperity was evil. I wonder if they even think about what they inflicted on themselves. They are suffering from a major self inflicted wound.
Castro welcomed the US leftist stooges who volunteered to help with the cane harvest. Dubbed the Venceremos Brigade, they returned singing the praises of Castro’s totalitarin regime. Hard core commie agents of change.
Would be startling to learn who they were and where they are today.
FBI knows, but so far as I know they’re not telling.
That’s what we need here. If you have been getting welfare etc for years then you get bussed out to the farms and make yourself useful.
Transpiration must be provided. This is only obstacle. I can visualize all the obese piggies claiming they have diabetes and other illnesses that prevent them from doing farm labor.
Bill Ayers said, “upwards of 30 miilion people will need to be eliminated in order to have communism in America”
Least I know I’ll be one of the early deaths.
I have read that Mao’s program was the largest man caused starvation famine in history ( I guess succeeding what Stalin did in Russia and UKraine)
Yet Mao has worshippers in the WH and his face on Christmas tree ornaments
Correction re: Venceramos Brigade.
We do know some of the original US participants.
From wiki Venceramos Brigade page:
“The Venceremos Brigade is a politically motivated international organization founded in 1969 by members of the Students for a Democratic Society and officials of the Republic of Cuba.[1]
Carl Oglesby, Bernardine Dohrn, Julie Nichamin, Brian Murphy, Allen Young and other members of SDS were primarily responsible for the idea, organization and negotiations with Carlos Rafael Rodríguez[2] and other members of the Cuban government.
The first trip in November 1969 numbered 216[3] and left from Czechoslovakia to skirt the U.S. government’s restrictions on travel to the island.[2]
It was formed as a coalition of young people attempting to show solidarity with the Cuban Revolution by working side by side with Cuban workers, challenging U.S. policies towards Cuba, including the United States embargo against Cuba.
The yearly brigade trips, which as of 2010 have brought more than 9,000 people to Cuba, continue today and are coordinated with the Pastors For Peace Friendship Caravans to Cuba.....”

‘Do not bind the mouths of the kine that tread the grain.’
That is a Bible verse. A newer English translation would read “Do not muzzle the oxen that tread the grain”. Oxen walked on top of grain stalks within a circular enclosure to separate the grain from the stalks and were allowed an occasional mouthful as a reward for working.
When is Sean Penn headed down to pitch in?
0 passed a law that could force Americans to do the same thing but for much longer than 60 days
It has become a slave state—a true form of Communism. Worse than the Middle Ages.
“People just want toilet paper at this point.”
People who don’t eat don’t need toilet paper.
Socialism is forced labor at its core. They’ve been doing this for years and no one noticed.
Venceramos Brigade...
I was referring to earlier forced labor in 1965 and 1966 (called UMAP). The government rounded up Cubans who didn’t have their mind right (anti-revolution or those not working) and hauled them off to harvest fruit and cut cane (no volunteers).
The gov’t keeping of “lists” jis a good way to keep the bureeaucRATS busy while giving optical cover for actually doing nothing to proactively improve a situation.
Russia... Wasn't it Stalin that killed many millions of farmers after stealing their crops..(?)
Hey Mao cured obesity in 20 million Chinese!
