I actually live in a country that claims to be socialist, but I'm not sure they have gone very far to earn that label.
AFAIK no one is forced to become a doctor in Cuba
Not sure what you mean, if you don't live in China, Vietnam, Laos, the DPRK, Cuba, or potentially Venezuela, then I don't think your country is really socialist. Either way, my point is that universal conscription isn't at all the same as slavery.
Me either
