Bringing back this 2016 banger: Hi! During the upheaval of your glorious revolution, I need to know what kind of healthcare you'll have in place. People who depend on steady supplies of lifesaving medication don't suddenly stop existing during a revolution.

One positive of the current system is drug companies have to reveal all to get a patent. They can obfuscate it, but it's all there. Get the scientists who make the stuff on board to create DIY guides (including alternative ingredients) and you're halfway to an equitable revolution.

Unfortunately, a lot of leftists in America are resorting to this because they believe the system is truly unbreakable and cannot be resolved without bloodshed or violence.

Too many asshats don't really get that revolutions are hard and full of fucking depravation.

If you think we're expendable, I think your revolution is trash. I'm all for burning down an oppressive system, but not in a way that treats vulnerable people as acceptable losses.

Revolutionaries are usually elitists and eugenicists.

Lots of folks working on mutual aid and developing capacity to take care of one another. Fwiw I don't think anyone sees a glorious revolution coming, but if things keep being this badly mismanaged things will fall apart on their own.

I had a burst appendix in 2019 and I don't think people realize how many people die of pretty simple things even in good time.

Well, until they very tragically do. But that's the cost of a glorious revolution, comrade.

are you saying that “people” are taken care of now or that you are taken care of now and you are comfortable with your care at the cost of everyone else who suffers under imperialism and racial capitalism?

I guess follow the Cuban plan, mobilizing more medical staff, bringing in generics, and training a lot of the general populace a lot more first aid

I finally got off Medicaid, because I'd rather those resources be used on some kid at the beginning of his life, rather than someone at the end of it. You don't put $5000 worth of work into a $500 car, or I don't, anyway.

As one of the “yeah I don’t really see a way out of this that doesn’t involve a revolution,” it’s not so much that I’m salivating as wondering what the perfect path forward is. At the very least, the promise of the revolution is actual healthcare, with workers owning the pharma factories.
