True, but labor rotation is also common in anarchist communities
And in Marxist circles as well.
It does make sense and the issue here isn't communal service periods but for making it only the young which "by chance" makes it so almost everyone who had any hand in it wouldn't have to do it ever.
If it were every citizen had to do some form of labor for some period I don't think anyone would have much of an argument.
