Calling a single policy Maoist because it was implemented by the Maoist regime is the same as calling the concept of socialised healthcare a Nazi policy because it was implemented by the Nazi regime.

I neither agree nor disagree with this policy on the basis that I don't know enough about the logistics and implementation to give an informed opinion, but to refer to it as Maoist is glib and incorrect as Malaysia, Zambia and Nigeria already have agricultural national service and, although Malaysia is a communist country, none of them are aligned with the CCP or the Maoist Revolutionary movement.

Its basically a parody of how every right leaning idiot calls boring right leaning centrists like Democrats "Extreme Left Communism".

Yes, it's a funny tweet, not a political science essay. It's OK.

The nazis did not implement national Healthcare. That was something done by Bismarck. And Bismarck was no bleeding heart liberal.

One valid ciriticism of this is that in the US a lot of farms are owned by private businesses.
Imagine Amazon needs more workers after a labor strike and government drafts you to work there.
