I would encourage all young people to get an honest job, or find a grant from a private organization (there are many which provide such). I would never encourage anyone to become cannon fodder for a socialist institution.
Sometimes I do suggest to socialists, when engaging in discussion with them, to go to prison. That way, they can learn what socialism is really all about. In prison, you are told what to do and how to do it, you have no personal property, even your life is not your own, your routine is controlled by others, even your sex life is outside of your control. Perhaps I should recommend that socialists join a military. Same difference. Cheers!
