No, slavery is slavery, even if its for a noble cause.
No, that is a definition that was constructed as apologism for various different forms of forced labor
A lot of reasonable people define forced labor as slavery:
Forcing someone to do civil service is unfree labor, depriving you of freedom of action. Also, you can disagree without being rude.
Compulsory customer service for a couple years might make retail customers less miserable to deal with overall.
I have not served but I did feel that mandatory civil service (outside of the military) that included getting you trained in a 4 year degree would do a lot of good.
I haven't really thought about that in a while though, to see how that would backfire.
Go fuck yourself, civil service is socialism. Communist scum.
Shit, I forgot the /s
