I don't understand how you can characterize this as dictatorship. If anything, it's the very normal realization of the representational democracy: The people have voted for representatives, that themselves voted on laws to force everyone to serve, or go to jail.

If the people wish to repeal that law, then they should vote for representatives that will repeal this.

Imperfect democracies exist. How do you change things when none of the candidates you can vote for are representing for what you want?
