Sure... forcing the people to do things they don't want to is bad. But one of the reasons I think people don't want to do this kinds of collectivist tasks is because we've been trained into being hyper-individualistic. It's "nobody has my back, why should I have somebody else's back?". If we fostered a more collaborative "we're all in this together" culture, by y'know... actually being in this together, I think there would be a lot of problems we think of as impossibly hard to solve that would be incredibly easy to solve. "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" was once an inspiring thing to hear.
