I think it’s unacceptable to serve in an imperialist military against an actually, existing socialist country. You either desert, dodge, or frag. If you don’t do any of those things, you are contributing towards reaction.
We hanged people at Nuremberg who were “just following orders.” Vietnam should have been no different, given what the US did to those people.
the draft is something the wealthy inflict upon the working class
you’re the one defending a literal fascist
What the fuck are you even talking about? There are people right now in Isreal sitting in jail cells because they refuse to participate in Gaza. I guess if they’re rich, they should be required to go kill some kids instead of buying their way out of it? Who gives a shit? The choice is to not carry out imperialism. It is materially better for Vietnam to not have more Americans invading their country.
Nobody here thinks that, they consider not going abroad to kill people a good thing regardless of the reason he did it. Do you think John McCain was a better person than Trump? He literally volunteered to go bomb Hanoi.
As an actual socialist, I take offense to your libshit takes.

We’re not asking you to hand it to the fascists.
We’re asking you not to frame draft dodging in the US as a bad thing.

That’s… objectively what it meant to dodge the draft, whatever was going on in his head is irrelevant to the material fact
yeah I gotta say that’s the right choice in almost any circumstance.
its OK to make a choice to do a good thing even if it’s unfairly easy for you to do that good thing compared to others. you still did a good thing!
the problem with privilege is that it’s unfairly distributed to a select few. instead of taking it away, it should be extended to everyone.
