@Yo_Martinez @hwestiii @StevenBeschloss he was a horrible person, but enslavement is still fascist!
Conscription is enslavement, anyone who supports it is wholly immoral.
But go on about how enslaving people to commit murder for capitalist gain is a good thing.
Bryan Caplan: Slavery is involuntary servitude; conscription is involuntary military servitude; therefore not only is conscription slavery; it’s a particularly heinous form of slavery that often ends in maiming and death. Yet most people disagree – and so did the U.S. Supreme Court back in 1918. … I think I finally figured out what most people are thinking. Namely: They implicitly regard slavery not as mere involuntary servitude, but as low-status involuntary servitude. … conscripts have high status – and therefore can’t be slaves.
