When I say 'socialism' I mean both parties in the duopoly; the only non-socialist politicians in Australia are those nobody wants to vote for because they, the politicians, believe in small government and personal responsibility.
"Government is best which governs least" (Thoreau).
The last time this country had conscription was to fight a war in Vietnam that was none of Australia's business. The war was lost. There was a lot of angst and division in the population, we got thousands of illegal immigrants from it, and America has not won a war since then. The West, particularly the Anglosphere, has lost all confidence in itself.
We and our ally America are in big trouble, thanks to our useless politicians. But, discriminatory, tyrannical forcing of kids into pointless “national service” would not make a jot of difference to our situation, and would make the victims of the discrimination even more resentful and angrier than they already are.
