Okay, to be clear, I’m not actually saying you should do drugs. I just found this picture funny and kind of insightful. I intended the title not to be a command, but as an 'if this then that" observation.
Bullshit. We do know more about it, true, but still did nothing with that knowledge. Imperialist and compradors are still enslaving people with the drugs and booze just as in XIX century. And they do know better how to do it too.
Point to ‘enslavement’ going on of other countries through drug policy. The only ‘enslavement’ going on is that of the American underclass, with the goverment using it as a justification to arrest millions of leftists and remove there right to vote.
In terms of foriegn policy, yes they use them as leverage to destablize countries; this is only an avilable option to them because it is illegal globally, and as such can be used as a wedge anywhere they need it to be used. If the global status quo was ‘legal’ do you really think it would be an effective tool for the CIA? Of course it wouldnt, it would be accountable to govs rather than gangs.
When socialism collapsed, narcotics became immediate and huge problem everywhere in a single year or two. Despite drug policy in this countries remaining mostly unchanged!
Yes, the collapse happened and the black market stepped in. Would it not be great if the black market did not even exist to begin with, because we had an actual accountable market instead?
This is why your approach is unscientific, you attribute the effect to the cause and the cause to the effect when the reality of the issues with drugs in a global sense is that when you remove the legal protections/gov protections for a trade you inevitably end up with the only language avilable to use is violence, when people are faced with economic depravity.
but dealers just as other deadly parasites get wall.
lets hope no goverment ever makes a drug you need to survive illegal buddy, I dont think you would have the same attitude.
Holy shit that’s delusional. It’s nothing but “drugs good” at this point. And this part:

Is just heinously bad faith. You do know exactly what i know about “drugs” but you hide between english language. Narcotics, we are talking about narcotics. Or do you, “Ghost of Faso”, think the drugs Sankara imported were heroin and LSD?
If you cant engage with any of my points there is no use talking.

Yes, Sankara 100% imported heroin, its used in hospitals and is vital.
I doubt he did with LSD as its a niche drug that would not have been widely understood or avilable at that time.
You seem to think me advocating for a pro-drugs approach is me wanting heroin to be legally avilable in your local corner shop, its not the case; Id want it avilable to those who need it and for those who want to do it recreationally I would want them to have acsess to safe ways to do it away from the streets, as well as give them education + housing so they would be more likely to stop doing it.
Yes we are done, because you completely ignored all the points i made and you present nothing that was in any means related to them but you created some weird strawman and burned it. And i wasn’t even the only one to whom you did it in this thread.
EDIT:

Yes this looks exactly like this. What you write later i never even mentioned, and i actually agree with you, except the “recreational use”.

So if we accept your position on recrational use, we also accept that the same conditions will likely happen that have formed in America; the revolution will be hijacked by reactionaries who are able to eliminate demographics of comrades who use drugs recreationally; Claudia Jones was literally deported in this way and she was an instrumental theorist. Think about how many black communist labour has been locked up in the same way.
Your position is ignorant to the way the drug war is utilized and where the sentiment and attitude even orginates from, mainly the tying of problems to its occurence in society rather than it just being a symptom of a looted and broken one. It is not the cause, it just is one of the few avenues people can use to generate revenue when faced with death by poverty.
This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
If you haven’t already found it, this GitHub page is an excellent collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics, made by @dessalines and others.
