Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

Read my post. Not what I said whatsoever. The idea that everyone who takes drugs is just waiting to be 'fixed' comes from a place of extreme privilege. It's very frustrating that you're arguing against the points that you think might be happening rather than reading the thread or even my posts to you directly.
And again, I've asked you for your 'alternative' to policing and you don't seem to have anything, outside of hiring different police from the community, but not calling them police, for reasons.
What part of "police are agents of state authority, mutual-defence groups are not" is hard to understand?
How did you turn me saying
into me saying we'd fix them being addicted to drugs?
Again, read the thread. It's like you're replying to individual messages without context. It means that your messages don't make sense in context.
