Funny you should mention that. Every C-orger I know has pointed out the similarities between the operation of a communist state and the operation of the C-org. It's virtually identical. I know it wizzed through my mind a number of times, especially the reeducation camps (RPF) and reporting on one's comrades. Greatest good for the greatest number.
