End Conscription!

Europe’s draft revival is being sold on a seductive story: that the Nordic “total defence” model proves conscription is modern, efficient, and socially unifying. Our latest report provides evidence that this “success story” is largely a mirage.

Interesting piece by @brassmannen on Sweden's struggle to boost the number of female conscripts. He argues that the Armed Forces that focus on perfecting gender equality will lose their focus on winning wars.

@brassmannen The only non-discriminatory option is to pay soldiers properly for their service, recruit voluntarily and fund defence through broad-based taxation, so the costs are shared by the entire society, both men and women.

@MagellanQuest What exactly is the mortal danger to Switzerland?

Conscription hides its real costs inside the private lives of conscripts and their families. The state gets labour at a discount because the men providing it are not allowed to say no. They deserve that choice. Read the entire article below: https://t.co/ddTXbP8BXv

Conscription is a system of forced labour paid poverty rates.🧵

Young men are also forced into labour benefiting public institutions, NGOs and private interests that fight to preserve the system.

The absurdity is visible: a coerced, unpaid or severely underpaid young man works beside an employee properly paid for the same job.
