And this isn't any old Stalin communism. It is happening in China at this very moment. Cotton fields in needs to be plucked quite quick or the cotton rotten. So Chinese Gov owned fields are "essential" so they are prioritized over other privately owned fields (land owners = non essentials). So these farmers are transported away from their fields which need to be plucked to the government owned fields. The non-essential Chinese citizens fields are destroyed, they are barely paid for their job. And lately it is rumored they won't get paid at all. This is Bejing Biden's thought as well. Hillary Clinton called them the deplorable.

Swedish radio interviewed Chinese farmers who witnessed about how their fields are discarded as non-essential.

Forced labor is happening in Venezuela right now.

A Venezuelan ministry last week announced Resolution No. 9855, which calls for the establishment of a “transitory labor regime” in order to relaunch the agricultural and food sector. The decree says that the government must do what is “necessary to achieve strategic levels of self-sufficiency,” and states that workers can be forcefully moved from their jobs to work in farm fields or elsewhere in the agricultural sector for periods of 60 days.

Straight out of Atlas Shrugged.

(I recommend the audiobook. It’s more digestible than the written book, and is only 50 hours. It’s a pre-apocalyptic novel with a few sci-fi elements, but mostly it shows America collapsing into communism.)
