  • When it’s to attack a foreign nation that’s not even threatening you, for sure. Definitely a weapon of the capitalist class against both their own people and other capitalists.

    But when you’re being attacked?

    I don’t have a problem with, for random example, the Soviet Union drafting millions of people to beat the Nazis. Or America. Or Britain. Just the aggressors in a war are committing enslavement, the defenders can at least be argued to being entitled to a collectivised defense.

    I’d say even Mao drafting people for the Civil War didn’t count (all people living under capitalism being understood to be being attacked and the KMT being genocidal corrupt warlords regardless who started the first period of the war in the first place)







  • That or you’re ignoring that they absolutely are establishing a death sentence for it. Will they apply it to everyone?

    No, probably not. But who could stop them if they did decide that all Taiwanese advocates are extreme cases? Keeping in mind that their definition of extreme seems to be “leader.”

    Personally I find your casual acceptance of the right of the state to execute anyone short of a brownshirt contemptible enough by itself, but go on about how they’re only going to put the non-leadership people in prison for 3 years.
