    Struggle session: most socialist countries used to be and still sort of are extremely ruthless when it comes to breaking up drug distribution networks. Sure we should legalize weed, but the average proletarian is not going to cry if people who deal fentanyl all get sent to a gulag.

      but the average proletarian

      First: that's workerism.

      Second: it's going about things backwards. People don't just decide to do shit like heroin for a laugh. Improving people's lives is a better way to decrease the use of dangerous drugs than harsh repression.

        First off, I don’t know what workerism is lol. Second off, you improve lives while also repressing the fuck out of class enemies. Either you do it or people like Bukele do. (Not sure how modern Nicaragua handles the issue but let’s just say Fidel back in the day didn’t do away with the mafia just to shut down night clubs)

          The legal system is not advanced enough to distinguish between buying a gram and selling laced kilos to impoverished communities

          it easily could be though. It already does distinguish between different criminality for different amounts of drugs and possesion vs possesion with intent to supply.
