History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.
—Karl Marx

The Zeus of the liberal religion would be pleased to see his Democrat acolytes fulfilling his prophecy, most recently by passing the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act. Translating from the liberal Newspeak, “volunteerism” means “coercive servitude,” and “education” means “statist indoctrination.”

The “GIVE” act is now on the way to the Senate. InfoWars reports:

Under section 6104 of the bill, entitled “Duties,” in subsection B6, the legislation states that a commission will be set up to investigate, “Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.”

Section 120 of the bill also discusses the “Youth Engagement Zone Program” and states that “service learning” will be “a mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency.”

As noted at Gateway Pundit, GIVE includes a provision for uniforms.

At best, this reprise of Hitler Youth will nationalize charitable work, using slave labor to help the State to further marginalize Christianity, which is one of the few remaining obstacles to totalitarianism. At worse, this and Obama’s Serve America Act are part of his stated plan to create a race-based, Gestapo-style “Civilian National Security Force” as large and well-funded as the military.

There is nothing scarier than a brainwashed teenager holding a machine gun, as Americans may soon be learning firsthand.

Update:

Apparently the section 6104 wording quoted above was removed from the version of this bill that went to the Senate, and is going into a separate bill. I knew I would regret using InfoWars as a source. On a tip from President Friedman.
