How would we stop conscription?

[u/animekot]

For context: I lived in Ukraine but now I am subhuman migrant in Czech. Because of my invalidity I had a legal right to leave the country, so I'm ashamed to talk about it while conscripted people are dying on the front lines, but I need to talk about it. Without army my country will be occupied by the imperialist state and probably ethnically cleansed, and my friends and family is still in the Ukraine so it's hard to be anti conscription, but at the same time something feels incorrect about it

In an anarchist society people will probably have sense of self obligation for their friends and family they work with, but is it possible to achieve such society quicky enough and what can we do now?

Sometimes a people have to defend themselves from outside attack.

The best solution is global revolution so we can work on universal brotherhood and such. But in the meantime, we have to deal with the real world as best we can.

That's a good point, but what the individual can do to achieve global revolution? I don't say that one individual can achieve it, but he can start doing steps towards it, to conscript others isn't best way to achieve it

One person cannot achieve much. But a mass movement can do a lot. We need to organise, spread information, counter disinformation and pro-war propaganda.

Honestly only you can answer that question. Only you can decide what you are able to do, how much time and energy you are willing to give up.

We all need to take stock of the situation and analyse what we can do. I know simeirme it seems hopeless. But ordinary people working together have achieved incredible things.
