Nope. It’s slavery. They want to do a slavery.
And not even smart. Farming today is sonething you have to train at and want / need to do. Grab 100 people that have never farmed before and set them loose in a field to find out how quickly crops burn.
What are you on about? I've done potato truck driving for a season when I was depressed and needed something else to do for a while. There's a lot of low/no skill work on farms that people can do. With just a few people who know what they're doing (and I definitely wasn't in that camp), the crops aren't going to be burning in the field. I don't think anyone is advocating grabbing people, plopping them in a field and saying "here, farm this".
Hint: Marxist-Leninists really like slavery, so that's not a distinguishing factor.
I think the big difference would be that under this you'd probably be working for next to nothing to enrich Monsanto or something, whereas under a Socialist system these would be public lands owned by the people, do be distributed to the people.
Having the military do farm work/construction is also pretty common in those kind of countries too.
