The concept is the same. Cut power to the cities and you have revolutionary level chaos within 3 days. They will murder each other before they attempt to move out to rural areas in search of food. The military in their effort to suppress the riots will quarantine the cities to the further benefit is rural America.
The enemy mostly lives in the cities.
Communists hide and foment their deadly ideology in the cities. It is hard to be a Communist in the country. That is why Communist dictators first order of business after seizing power is to confiscate all the grain and livestock from the farmers and then starve them to death. The Holomodor and MAO's great leap forward starvation plans were not accidental.
