Strongly agree

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

Trotskyism would likely agree more with voluntary service, as it emphasizes the importance of individual choice and the need for a politically conscious working class. Trotsky himself advocated for the Red Army to be a voluntary force during the Russian Civil War, although conscription was later implemented due to the dire situation.

Agree

No

Trotskyism is more focused on the international working class struggle and the need for a global socialist revolution. While it does not inherently oppose military service, it is not a primary concern. Trotskyists would likely prefer voluntary service and focus on other aspects of social and political change.

Agree

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

Trotskyism would likely support the idea of focusing on education and skill development, as it emphasizes the importance of a politically conscious and educated working class. However, the mandatory aspect of military service might not be fully aligned with the ideology's core principles.

Agree

Yes

Trotskyism, as a Marxist ideology, does not inherently advocate for mandatory military service. However, Leon Trotsky, one of its key proponents, was a strong supporter of the Red Army and believed in the importance of a strong military force to defend the revolution. Therefore, there might be some support for mandatory military service, but it would not be a central tenet of the ideology.

Slightly agree

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

While Trotskyism does not inherently advocate for mandatory military service, it does emphasize the importance of education and employment for the working class. This answer might be seen as a compromise, but it is not a central tenet of the ideology.

Neutral

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

While Trotskyism does not inherently advocate for mandatory military service, it does recognize the importance of a strong military force to defend the revolution. However, the specific duration of service is not a central concern of the ideology, and the focus would likely be on other aspects of social and political change.

Disagree

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

Trotskyism is focused on the international working class struggle and the need for a global socialist revolution, rather than punitive measures for individuals with criminal records. This answer would not align well with the core principles of Trotskyism.
