It's not true communism, because true communism is a stateless, classless society, but we have had plenty of attempts at 'true communism' and they all turn out more or less the same.

HAHA

Im keeping that

That we've had so many attempts go so horribly wrong is enough to decide we shouldn't try any time soon.

Howmany times has it failed again?

Like

12?

remember what einstein said about insanity

We've had a lot of people die in wars but that's still a thing we do. You just need to keep an open mind...and a lot of mass graves.

you'll get an open mindall right... when the Commissar puts a bullet in the back of your head for not bein dedicatd enough.

Socialism gay

Hoodies get more and more /comfy/

Hillary Peterson be like CLEAN YOUR EMAILS BUCKO

They should add Socialist to the ever growing list of LGBTQQIP2SAA.

@Timcast how about repealing selective service altogether? draftees are useless in modern warfare, and forcing people to fight is unethical. and if a country deserves to be defended they will find no shortage of volunteers.

Unless they all die

:^)

i admit though i'd enjoy the mental gymnastics that would come from re-opening the selective service case.

Draftees aren't completely useless.

the last time someone tried to open selective service to women it was denied because the majority of combat occupations were not open to women. can't use that excuse anymore.

I'd assume their first purpose, after being rushed through basic training, would be to take the non-combat jobs done by more senior soldiers. Filling roles like logistics.

We have a draft here and I think it’s really good for the country.

ROFL

you think you're going to get loggies to go do combat? good fucking luck

Draft doesn’t always mean combat.

There are plenty of other roles.

yeah it pretty much does mean combat.

If someone signed up during peace time it must have been because they wanted to get out there and fight.

No it doesn’t. Take it from someone who was drafted and worked with people who were also drafted and not in combat roles.

Non-combat jobs: 38.8% of enlisted personnel had rear echelon assignments—administrative, support, or manual labor.

So more than 60% were combat arms. Mostly grunts.

I'm not talking about peacetime military conscription. This is for actual war.

The US does not do peacetime military conscription.

At least not since the 50s

That's World War 2, dude. Stuff has changed a lot.

Yeah you don’t need as many combat roles anymore.

Yeah, a lot has changed. You can't just take a random asshole off the street, give him a rifle and six weeks of training and expect him to accomplish anything.
