Hello /leftypol/, I would like to start this thread where we can discuss important topics of conscription and army under necessary transition towards socialism, I invite everyone for discussion regarding this topic.
Do you think that conscription is necessary part of any TRVE revolution or is it bourgeoisie anti-proletarian totalitarian policy? What are you thoughts? Should we organise only voluntary militias or train all of the proletariat?

>train all of the proletariat
You can accomplish this in ways that do not involve slavery for an untransparent hierarchical institution
Military conscription is useless in peaceful times these days so no. I'd be open to some degree of labor conscription though
>>2784456I agree with you, I forgot to mention that I meant revolutionary phase and eventual (civil) war.
>>2784479there's nothing civil about a war
>>2784481I obviously meant "Civil War or War"
If you have the capacity to conscript the population you are not the revolutionary side anymore

I hate these quotes because the USA is the country where everyone use arms and acquire arms and they are one of the most classcucked country in the world, completely incapable of organizing a general strile, not protesting against the war in Iran when it makes their general situation actively worse, I could go on and on.
Meanwhile, proles in other countries just burn shit down and organize strikes when they had enough. Guns are completely useless when you have zero tactics, targeting infrastructure is infintely more important.
