      There is definitely no material conditions of a century of humiliation that wouldnt affect a country like that now would it?

        What if I told you that the Americans created the cartels like the British propped up the opium trade? I am team legalized coca sure, but at the end of the day there is a reason why the hard stuff and real drug pushers aren’t welcome in Cuba.

          Cocaine is a very hard drug my dude. I've seen people lose their lives on it . But not because of the drug but the capitalist duty tax burden X10. on a product that is essentially leaf extract. idk man kind of drunk

      Mao handled the issue with a combination of supported rehab for addicts and execution of drug dealers (although if I remember correctly this was only the dealers who refused to turn on their organisation). Although it is also worth pointing out that the drug triads of 1940's China were essentially warlords and aren't very comparable to US drug dealers and the production of opium in China was undermining food growth

      It is also the case that Chinese drug laws are not very different to Singapore's drug laws

        It is 100% like that with drugs dealers in Mexico

        Mexico doesn't have a death penalty and it's kind of stopped a lot of justice

        I think Maos guys did the right thing

        It's a complex issue but killing Bougie Chapos ... God why did they name is chapotraphouse ...plus on drugs too 🤌

      Not sure what you mean by that. I'm saying you shouldn't trust porky-happy govs to handle social issues in favor of proletariat. Not that you shouldn't shoot drug lords under any circumstances.

        In order to shoot drug lords, you have to be willing to kill their hired guns. Let’s not be naive. You have to treat them all like fascists if they don’t submit.

          This has very little to do with what i said, but i'll bite.

          If we're talking about a particular law enforcement operation by a theoretical socialist state, then here is not that many people would be willing to die in a last stand against a whole country's forces. No amount of drug money will change that. You need to be alive to spend them, after all. The only ones who would be willing to do that are people who will to face the same punishment as hypothetical drug lord. We shouldn't bolster their ranks by going overboard here. Whatever you meant class politics or some idea of justice, i think you taking it too abstractly. We should consider particular effects of our theoretical policies too.
