"Tell me, what glorious leader will they swear loyalty to?" None. A Young Pioneer's loyalty is to themselves, their principles and conscience, their fellow Pioneers, their class and their community.

"How many months will they spend on the collective digging for beets?" None, but I can see many Young Pioneers involved in urban farming projects to help their communities and provide nutritious food.

"How many hours will they wait in toilet paper lines?" I suppose they might wait as long as you will the next time you're in such a line.

"Will you teach them to inform on their parents for 'Crimes against the Party'?" Since there is no "Party" that is overseeing the Young Pioneers, your question is irrelevant.

"What's the time-frame on splitting into factions over ideology and slaughtering each other in the streets?" Since no ideological requirements are a part of the Young Pioneer Oath or Code, I would say two weeks after never.

"How long will your list of banned and censored reading, music and religious materials be?" A Young Pioneer is encouraged to keep his or herself aware, alert and informed, and that includes reading and studying materials he or she may disagree with. Moreover, while the Young Pioneers welcomes young people who are atheists, those who hold personal religious beliefs are also welcome, just as those who are heterosexual are welcome.

"Onward comrades! The blood of the Kulaks will run in the streets!" Personally, I think you're just mad because you didn't think of this first.
