Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    I agree. Keeping the sale illegal perpetuates the terribleness of drug gang. But it’s a popular take because it removes state responsibility for regulating recreational use and abuse.

    Also, however, it is possible to find new ways. For example in a Denmark sex work is legal, but profiting off of sex work is not. Which on the surface makes no sense (a sex worker cannot rent a hotel room for example). As a result women run old fashioned brothels that are employee owned coops.

    A partial legalisation could breed some similar non capitalist innovations.
