The drug war is driven by capitalism because they make money off of selling legal and illegal drugs. They don't want the average joe doing it to make a quick buck so they murder and put people in jail who do. Capitalism is a horrible idea created by humans and doesn't work, you don't find capitalism anywhere in nature, just in the minds of sheeple.

Well in comparison, neither does communism. No direct idea will work, as every person as an individual, even different cultures disagree with absolutism. Mixed system of both communism, socialism and capitalism, in its correct proportions, along with a few hundred years of The People's modifications, I could see a government system working where people both help each other but can still pursue their own ventures without negating from others in that society.
It's an idea that is far fetched and won't happen because people like controlling others. You'd need a society where people are comfortable letting others make their own decisions.

When you say no where in nature, are you reffering to the organized greed called "capitalism" or to the people who fight to survive and be the strongest at the cost of others? Because everywhere in nature only the strongest survive, and there are plenty of creatures who kill their siblings to get more food from their parents. It is comparable.

Well, if you are in Spain as indicated under your avatar, I doubt you have any worries from the DEA, so your assertion regarding trip wires and guns is simply machismo and empty bravado.

Lol. Words spewed by my frustration. US of A is my home. I am not a much of a violent person but I would love for a squad team to crack someones door down with that waiting; Instead of some everyday unprepared person sitting in front of their TV minding their own business when it happens as you usually see. Now that would be a raid story I would be happy about reading.
Empty Bravado? Not completely. But I'd prefer only I know what that means at this point.

Someone should set raids like that up all over the country. After like 10 bloody deadly battles taking place over college students selling 3 grams of cannabis, most Americans would surely be ready to compromise an end to prohibition.
It's not like if someone didn't do this, there wouldn't be thousands of deaths as a result of continued prohibition because, there will. So doing so would honestly save lives.

ShroomyJohn said: Because the people making shit tons of money in other areas (Pharma, alcohol) have lobbied the government to keep the laws how they are so they can make more money. What isn't capitalistic about that? If you look at the drug trade it is completely capitalistic. Anything that is regulated so the government can make money off of it, is still capitalism, just not pure capitalism.
So when companies have a control in the government that is a free market?

riffdex said: It's called Democracy. The fact of the matter is that, true capitalism will never be popular by the majority, which is why we end up with a mixed system. Does the public really want unrestrained monopolies running the economy? That would be considered true capitalism, and a resounding majority of Americans do not support such a prospect.
America is suppose to be a republic not a democracy. Democracy IMO is 3 wolves and 1 sheep trying to decide on what to eat for dinner and everyone gets a vote. With majority rule we all would enjoy such things such as race theory, slavery, and various forums of injustice and rights abuse. “What's right isn't always popular. What's popular isn't always right,” is a great way to sum it up.
Also would like to trow in that if our government would act more like a republic we wouldn't have a war on drugs and criminalization, because it violates our right to control our body. Remember rights? Those fantastic things that really made America a free country, those are a result of a republic government not a democratic one. We wouldn't have any rights in a true democracy, just the privileges that we are granted by the majority.

We are 1/2 Republic with a democratic point of view,and you know you have a problem when unfortunantly the saying "and that government of the people, by the people, for the people" no longer holds true to this day. You see, about 80% or more of the American population feel the same way about Marijuana, and that number is rising...If this Govt is of "the people" by the people for the people, then why are they fighting "the people"? The way it works...Honest men corrupted by Money=American peoples suffering. 1% of the American population hold the nations greatest supply of wealth, do you think it is right for 1% to be able to dictate the wills of millions of people? or is it time we admit to being something other than a republican democracy?

Oh and Freedom is Amazing, but my comparison that i preach to my friends is this statement that i use to compare how our Govt has been treating us for the past 70 years. "What would you be more likely to respond to in a violent way? If someone came up to you and knocked your ass to the ground? or if they gently helped you lay down?" I compare this to our freedoms being slowly taken away...not all at once.
