I'm down with the dictatorship of the proletariat, but fuck off if you're coming for my ketamine, 2CB, DMT, salvia, cannabis, etc. Everything I've read into and history's precedent tells me it's a pretty clear ban on everything.

And no lazy, bullshit responses like, "Well if we're in a communist utopia, I think you'll find there will be no need to take mind-altering substances, which clearly only exclusively exist as a response to captitalism."

Curiosity, spirituality, and exploring the unknown will exist in perpetuity. I just wonder what limitations will be impressed upon society.

    The reason you're not getting a straight answer is because you already answered yourself.

    Everything I’ve read into and history’s precedent tells me it’s a pretty clear ban on everything.

    This information, however, skews very unfavorably in trying to turn more young, impressionable Westerners into communists.

        I think its also complicated by the fact that we understand addiction a lot better in the 21st century and have kinda realized flat-out criminalization and prohibition isn't the best way to go about treating epidemics of drug abuse.

      It's also why most young westerners who skew left are, imo, such poor communists. Without a culture of communal organization or tradition of deferring to an actual democratic body of their peers, any individual pursuits are put above what the group consensus is and splits are inevitable.

      Of course the problem with this is that much of the 'group consensus' of America trends towards pretty horrific policies, particularly concerning foriegn interests. Shit sucks....

      This works well into anarchism, however, despite its own political flaccidity within the imperial core.
