Come the revolution, I'd offer you various incentives to become 
the Minister of Pubs and Taverns were you'd have your minions 
keep tabs on the working class's drinking habits.  As for 
re-education camps, I've always pushed for using Disneyland 
and Disneyworld to house defeated reactionaries and 
collaborators and their families. As part of their rehabillitation 
they would actually run the fun parks and the first year or 
so wouldn't seem so bad, but then as the years drag on, 
It's a Small World After All, the Goofy costumes, parades 
and the rest of it would grow tiresome and creepy and the 
inmates would focus more on their studies to distract themselves 
from the enforced fun and cheeriness.
