That would be a good analogy if the concentration camps had only been used for forced labor and not for mass executions.
Incidentally, they were at first. Extremely harsh and dangerous forced slavery, which often killed the slaves, sure; but the murders for murder's sake came a little later.

I would be mostly okay with it if they abolished slavery first

Rand deserves some credit, he did get involved early and held the Lion Throne for Elayne. *NM*

Yes. That is a flaw of Seanchan governance.

It's not the Empire's fault, and that flaw is not being duplicated in the wetlands

The Pattern certainly has some plan or purpose for the Seanchan.

That's what's scary. In many ways, the Seanchan embody the goals of the Pattern

If we're going to personify things, we should be personifying the Wheel, not the Pattern.

"We" don't know of the One Power existing, so obviously it disappears. *NM*

Lack of knowledge doesn't mean the One Power vanishes or is destroyed.
