Young Germans will have to choose between the Bundeswehr (military service) and unpaid social service work. Libertarians to a person, will call this slavery, because that is what it is.<\/p>\n

Germany to Re-Introduce Slavery<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please consider the Eurointelligence headline story\u00a0Germany to Re-Introduce Slavery<\/a><\/p>\n

It is not about the military at all. Under the plans, young people, male and female, can choose between the Bundeswehr or a year of forced labour in the social services, essentially uncompensated.<\/p>\n

The main reason we see is that their fiscal rules have depleted them with the resources to fund the Bundeswehr and critical social services like old-age care. For example, there is a big row going on right now within the coalition currently between Boris Pistorius, the defence minister, and Christian Lindner, over Pistorius\u2019 demands for another \u20ac6bn for the Bundeswehr. The discussions on the reintroduction of the draft are at an early stage. They won\u2019t affect the current budget dispute. But it could go some way to fix the Bundeswehr\u2019s budget issues.<\/p>\n

The SPD leader Lars Klingbeil sugar-coated the idea as giving young people an\u00a0opportunity to serve<\/strong> the state at one point in their lives. Another underlying assumption is that young people are infinitely stupid. German high school goes until the age of 19. This is higher than elsewhere because German children do not start school until they are 6. With a year of enforced military or social services, they won\u2019t start their studies or apprenticeship until they are 20…<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
