Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

everyone to the right of and including bernie sanders needs to be arrested and re-educated. america is a sick society full of damaged people and they need to be dealt with. im not being hyperbolic, the survival of our species, the planet, and every species on it depends on it. for too long fascists have destroyed the planet and the “liberal democratic institutions” our society is built on, while liberals sat by and watched them do it at best while helping them do it the rest of the time. they built the prisons for us already. we need to make use of them.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: the US will need a cultural revolution after a socialist one and it will be the most difficult undertaking communists ever do. There won't be re-education because Americans were never educated in the first place. It will require isolating reactionaries from one another so they don't fall backwards into old habits. Some people will spend the rest of their lives away from society because they will reject every attempt to educate them decades later. And even more will be so extreme, they would rather die than accept capitalism failed.
Even when socialists fix everything wrong in their lives, American reactionaries will still cling to the myths of the old empire.
I don't disagree but frankly there's no way to isolate reactionaries from one another. Re-education camps? The detainees are going to talk and are not isolated from each other and will draw on each others strength to form cliques who resist probably centered around Christian faith and such and trying to lean into the feeling of being persecuted. The only way would be putting them all in isolated holding jail cells and that wouldn't make productive members of society but broken, angry, and mentally unstable people. You can try to control it somewhat in camps by instituting no talking in certain areas and monitoring others as best you can but it won't be foolproof.
I think there needs to be a limit on how much time people are subjected to re-education before we decide they're not taking it seriously and take other steps for such deeply unserious reactionary clowns. Some amount just by being sent to the country-side and deprived of Fox News and internet reactionary brain worms will probably see reason within a year or so. Those who do need to be separated quickly from the others to prevent them from reverting and placed in their own camps to advance along those lines.
Your post revolution society would need more than just internet monitoring or censorship. For one thing 9/10 churches would become and arguably already are reactionary cells, a third place for breeding reaction, stewing in it, etc.
Give each of em their own isolated segment of Facebook entirely populated by ComradeGPT and ChudButBenignGPT accounts, and let them argue with the former and plan the counterrevolution with the latter.
