Anti-Capitalism

Very strongly agree

No

Anti-capitalists are likely to support the abolition of mandatory minimum prison sentences for drug possession. They argue that drug addiction should be treated as a public health issue rather than a criminal one, and that resources should be directed towards rehabilitation and social support rather than incarceration. Historical examples include the opposition to the war on drugs by socialist and communist parties, as well as the decriminalization of drug possession in countries with more socialist-leaning policies, such as Portugal.

Disagree

Yes, but only for drug dealers, not users

While anti-capitalists might agree with the distinction between drug dealers and users, they would still likely oppose mandatory minimum prison sentences for drug dealers. They argue that the criminalization of drugs perpetuates a cycle of poverty and violence, and that addressing the root causes of drug trafficking, such as economic inequality and lack of opportunity, would be a more effective solution. For example, the Zapatista movement in Mexico, which has anti-capitalist elements, has focused on addressing the social and economic conditions that lead to drug trafficking rather than advocating for harsher penalties for drug dealers.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Anti-capitalists generally oppose mandatory minimum prison sentences for drug possession, as they view the war on drugs as a tool of capitalist oppression. They argue that the criminalization of drugs disproportionately affects marginalized communities and serves to maintain social and economic inequalities. For example, the Black Panthers, a socialist organization, opposed the war on drugs in the United States, seeing it as a means to target and oppress black communities.
