We all know that the west uses two different words for the same thing depending on where it is happening.
e.g. Secret Police vs Plainclothes Officer
Regime vs Government
Can we have a compilation thread of these words? I am probably using many of them unconsciously without critical examination.
So… Forced labour?
Picking up garbage and serving homeless people food is forced labour?
Calling those things “forced labour” is horrifically derogatory to those who actually have to work farms, factories, construction work, and other extreme labour while in prison.
You realize that a lot of socialist rehabilitative work is community service correct?
So you are saying US prisons are bad for forcing inmates to preform labor while advocating for community service?
(/s hopefully, obviously )
technically non-voluntary labour is forced, yes, although that’s also true for rehabilitation through labour (potentially a good thing) and “forced labour” has a negative connotation
