All ideological thought ultimately derives from responses to material reality. Reactionary thought in particular tends to derive from one of two places: worsening material conditions with no theory to guide a response, or being so insulated from the average standard of living that it ceases to meaningfully exist for that person. In any sort of re-education program you’d have to resolve both of these. The former is pretty easy given we’re communists: improve material conditions for people universally and spread theory to make it clear why they were in shit situations to begin with despite living in what is objectively the wealthiest empire in history and how this contradiction was resolved with socialist planning. Some reactionaries will likely need the theory half of that to hit them a little more forcefully than simply printing pamplets and will undoubtedly pull an adventurism against any burgeoning socialist state and need to be imprisoned until it clicks for them, which is what :gulag: is for.

The reactionaries that are too insulated by wealth and privilege to reasonably understand what life is actually like for most people get the Puyi treatment: make them go break rocks and read theory and talk to real human beings who suffered under the system they perpetuated until they experience a “oh fuck I did this” moment, at which point they can go be normal citizens like everyone else.
