I think this might be one of those individualistic vs collectivist moral thing.

I do have individualistic values, in the Marxist sense. I oppose a society oriented around the individual, but I do value individuality and the encouragement/development of it.

All of us owe a debt to society because our lives are made possible by it.

I find the concept of debt problematic, especially one that is not taken by choice. As to serving the state in return for education, that’s more of a gray area if you still have the option to not accept the education.
