It's funny because "re-education" is always depicted as a scary and terrifying part of communism. They're imagining they're just fancy names for prison or torture camps. If they do actually involve education, it's with maybe that eyeball opening thing from a Clockwork Orange, and other forms of spooky commie mind-control. It's why the camps in China in Xinjiang were automatically scary before we even knew anything about them.
"Re-education camps" are up there with "gulags" in that it automatically conjures an image of scary communism in the Western psyche.
It's like an echo of people who think universities are "liberal brainwashing machines" like, no. Learning about things makes you less afraid and violent towards them.
