(or are they? have I been disinfo'd?)

I am of the opinion that the drug war is evil: cops and jails ruining someone's life because of a recreational activity. And the evidence shows it does more harm than good, not stuff I have to go over again.

But DPRK and China are harsh on drugs, not sure about Cuba.

What's up with that?

First counterargument that comes to my mind is a lot of capitalist countries are very harsh on drugs as well, like the very capitalist Singapore, so you couldn't draw a correlation. What other counterarguments should a comrade consider?

    anarchists: "the state only cares about production, they are fash"

    also narcs: "buh? you think Biden's ban of menthols is good? Actually its racist to oppress small consumer joys" (woke Pete Buttigieg neoliberals talk about "consumers" but not "workers", unable to make any mention of the fact wage slaves get addicted to this stimulant because they are hungry and tired at work and live in a fascist Mussolini style productivist society)

        like i genuinely don't care about this issue and i don't really see what it has to do with anything i or any other anarchist said, but surely you don't think "people who criticize a decision made by neoliberals are in doing so cryptoneoliberals themselves" is a convincing line of reasoning?
