Anti-Imperialism

Very strongly agree

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

This answer aligns with the anti-imperialist emphasis on individual freedom and self-determination. Allowing citizens to choose whether or not to serve in the military respects their autonomy and reduces the likelihood of forced participation in imperialist conflicts. For example, the anti-war movement during the Vietnam War advocated for an end to the draft and a shift to a volunteer military.

No

Anti-imperialism often emphasizes the importance of self-determination and individual freedom. Mandatory military service can be seen as an infringement on these values. For example, the anti-imperialist movement in the United States during the Vietnam War opposed the draft, arguing that it forced young people to fight in an unjust war.

Slightly agree

Yes, but with less focus on military training and more focus on education and skill development

This answer is more in line with anti-imperialist values, as it focuses on education and skill development rather than military training. However, it still requires mandatory service, which may be seen as an infringement on individual freedom. Some anti-imperialist movements, such as those in Latin America, have supported similar programs that emphasize social and economic development over military expansion.

Disagree

Yes, but only for those who do not pursue further education or employment

While this answer may seem more equitable than mandatory service for all, it still imposes military service on certain individuals, which goes against the anti-imperialist values of self-determination and individual freedom. Additionally, it could be seen as targeting economically disadvantaged individuals who may not have access to further education or employment opportunities.

Disagree

Yes

Anti-imperialism generally opposes the expansion of military power and influence. However, some anti-imperialist movements have supported mandatory military service as a means of national defense and solidarity. For example, Cuba has a mandatory military service for its citizens, but the focus is on defending the nation against imperialism.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only for those who are starting to build a criminal record

This answer targets a specific group of individuals, which goes against the anti-imperialist values of equality and individual freedom. It also perpetuates the idea that military service is a form of punishment or rehabilitation, rather than a voluntary choice. This approach is not in line with the goals of most anti-imperialist movements.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and it should be at least two years of service

This answer not only supports mandatory military service but also extends the duration of service, which is strongly opposed by anti-imperialist ideology. Longer service periods could be seen as further entrenching military power and influence, which goes against the core principles of anti-imperialism. Historical examples of anti-imperialist movements, such as those during the Vietnam War, have consistently opposed mandatory military service and the expansion of military power.
