You may oppose it, but you also likely do not live in a socialist country. Understanding why socialist countries have the policies they do requires understanding their situations. For example, in Cuba, sending doctors to the rural areas helped provide medical access to people who never had it before. These programs are not at all comparable to slavery, but are pro-social policies decided within a class, not imposed by one class onto the rest.
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.

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
