Absolutist objector, pacifism, and the witness against war
Description:
Analysis of the problem of conscription and coercion in a democratic society and the issues of Civilian Public Service. "Because conscription, like slavery, is a contradiction of ends and means and because it tends to destroy both conscriptor and conscript, the state -- or pacifist movement -- which employs conscription as a means is destroying itself."
