    Actually I don’t think it’s that terrible for an idea, as long as things like food and accommodations are provided, and you can’t get out of it by paying (e.g. pay someone to do it for you).

    I’d like to see billionaires doing hard labor alongside ordinary people.

      I would agree with it if it was working on publicly owned farms. I don’t support any kind of “drafted” labor that ultimately benefits private owners, or even a system where the government reaps the profits. If people are made to work in any fashion, every cent of value generated should go back to them.
