I have seen people blasting cigarettes in china and drinking alcohol in china some of the most addiction substances we have normalized despite being worse then other elicit substances, also pretty western if you ask me,
if china was better then the west they would be treating be treating drug users different on the social system That means medical personal not police. The opium wars are over and their people have begun the long process to generational recovery. This being said they still lock people up for drug offenses like the united states they monitor their
bank accounts and have the entire process handled by the police but called a medical problem, they can get in some provinces cut off from medicaid and basically Chinese social security. Just read the whole thing.
The right to health is also enshrined in the obligations under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.[68] As a party to the treaty, China should ensure the availability, accessibility, acceptability, and quality of health services, as well as ensure that services are provided in a nondiscriminatory manner, especially for marginalized groups.[69]
While the 2008 Anti-Drug Law is progressive in that it recognizes individuals who use drugs as patients and calls for treatment, in practice China’s drug treatment system operates as a system of monitoring and punishment.[70] It does not operationally acknowledge drug use as a public health issue that requires evidence-based, community supported long-term treatment. In the current treatment regime, detection of a relapse leads to harsher restrictions on personal rights and freedoms, without meaningfully addressing the right to health.[71] China suffers from a severe lack of specialized drug treatment resources and a reliance on ineffective detoxification approaches dominated by restrictions on personal freedom.[72]
China’s punitive approach to drug dependency treatment also affects the ability of individuals who use drugs to address other health problems. For example, many of China’s current national and local laws and regulations exclude persons who use drugs from occupational injury insurance and medical insurance.[73] Moreover, some local governments, such as in the cities of Nanping, Lanzhou, Urumqi, and Liuzhou, have enacted legislation that excludes medical expenses incurred as a result of drug use from the scope of urban and rural medical assistance.[74] These exclusions raise serious concerns about violations of the obligation to provide nondiscriminatory health services.
Not everything liberals say is cold-war propagand, a lot of it is but we need to be sober minded about these sort of things socialist projects get held to the highest degree of scrutiny The HHR Journal is published out of brown university. The Ruthless Critique of Everything Existing https://www.hhrjournal.org/2022/06/no-exit-chinas-state-surveillance-over-people-who-use-drugs/
People should have the ability to consume drugs with freedom to get medical care if they develop a problem and they want to end dependency. Country’s that treat medical problems as criminal problems are reactionary in character. quality drugs should in a future socialist society be provided by trained pharmacists with support networks for addicts to get help if they want it, not needlessly restricted by alienated social forces that seeks to tell workers whats in their best interest they can decide if they want to take drugs if they feel as they are informed enough to do so
This is the part where I hope young people say we are gonna form local connections where we hang out a provide for each other & the local community and make it an essential group of leftist that help each other out and hang out every week end, with the hope it snow balls into something great right? Riiight we aren’t just gonna sit at home on discord and hope sending leftist memes to friends without doing the work of hanging out consistently with people and being integral to a community. Right? We aren’t gonna do that right? We are going to form local social clubs like we use to do right because most people will change their minds to stay in the social club on politics because It directly benefits them.
We definitely won’t read this post and continue to doom scroll insert bad website and be isolated atomized alienated workers who could be hanging out. Notice below the word branch and think about what that means
Problem uk is not econmicly important and also in this era capitalists can just op out of countries especially when they become too difficult to deal with, also the fact you have to ask for a back door makes the point of the backdoor more pointless just try to do it secretly like the pros do it in the usa. This probly cause a gang terf war with the nsa and cia vs mi6
This bill is unenforceable, I don’t know how its not gonna back fire they literally will just what send tickets to the parent for the kids using their phone even thats a stretch, they just seem mad they cant control the internet and popular option so we are gonna pass a bill to make our selves feel better. Better ways to waste time. If they were serious they would have to ban kids from using the internet or having phones
Just think about this, I joe Brandon declare. its illegal for Jonny and Sue to use a phone to search for easily searchable things, but if search for things I don’t like its a crime. Anyone else see how unenforceable this garbage is? Or am I too out of touch with tech.
I believe this is geting put on the list due to workers not being as fungible in the past, I live in a western state that takes heat very seriously, immigration is down across the board, boarders are very closed. We do have significant inelastic labor supply for the foreseeable future. I think sections of are copetlists realize you shouldn’t let man child bougeious mulch perfectly good workers because they can’t be fucked to install a ac in the wearhouse. Thats my angle at least for now.
In bougeious circles their is a lot of talk about increasing productivity, we might see a lot of measures in the near future that increase employee health to get more productivity, things like 7/7 scheduling, they did this in the 1970s but didn’t go that far unlike Japan and Nordic counties the idea is happy people are more productive which is empirical, problem is the 80s they opened the boarders and flooded the lowest end of the working class so they could turn people more disposable.
Im not sold that the American ruling class will be nice even if they have every incentive. Time and time again they prove them selves to choose hate and loathing, even when it marginal more profit to be nice to workers.
They hate us cause they ain’t us, they are embarrassed that they don’t have to gumption to not vote for spineless almost invertebrate liberals.
Real answer is they don’t listen, when we tell them why they arent entitled to our votes and then complain we aren’t helping team “left” when they move to the right and make more people clock out mentally and lose on broadly unpopular legislation.
Most of the stats say the income disparity is just the cost of a house with price asset inflation, I think if we just gave people houses a lot of the income gap disappears, but not to even mention the generational trauma that will take 3-5 generations to work out under socialist living standards. I guess stress and trauma, make your DNA activate in ways I dint pretend to understand and it makes diseases mentally and physically more common.
