What you have to understand, is that Republicans are part fascist. A couple good examples are McCarthyism and the Vietnam war. In both, the idea of communism was used to accomplish something. For McCarthy, it was about politics. For Vietnam, it was about a military invasion. The truth is, any United States citizen could start a communist party right here in the U.S., and it would be as protected as any other political party. In an entirely democratic way, people could vote for communism. Even though, because of free-speech and free peaceable-assembly, these things are true, fascist Americans managed to terrorize people into persecuting other Americans (including members of opposing political parties), and wage a terrible holocaust against a non-threatening sovereign nation.

Do you suppose if drug-users formed as assembly, because drug-use is peaceable, it would be enough (combined with other Constitutional protections), to eliminate the fascist drug-policy?
