You started this entire thread by saying "Dangerous drugs need to be kept off the streets through any means". Present tense. Any means. Don't play stupid, we don't live in a future socialist state. We live in the existing racist, fascist capitalist one that has demonstrably only used the drug war to create mass systems of enslavement. So why don't you shut the fuck up about hypothetical idealist futures and talk about existing reality? Are you even a marxist with this utopian idealist nonsense?
The fact that this insane fascist tactic is on the table for you is nuts. Why even mention this shit? This is my line, the evil shit the prohibition governments do to its own people in the name of "protecting" them. Why would you go ahead and mention it when it's farcically evil?
In the existing reality, this method is still preferable to the current status quo as it would be effective still. You aren’t going to stop racism by legalizing drugs but you are going to let many, many innocent people be killed and exploited by junkies and the seller gangs and cartels. Clearly ignoring the problem isn’t working so stepping up the game is the next step.
