how do you think the homelessness problem would be solved from a socialist/communist perspective?

    I get that. But if forcing them to take medication leads to them having a huge quality of life improvement, including them realizing that they need the medication and are grateful for it?

      I get what you mean, but unless someone is in actual danger or threatening others then what gives any of us the right to forcibly control what they do? I know people who suffer from undiagnosed issues due to their refusal to get therapy or try medication, but isn’t it their right to refuse treatment? If immediate danger isn’t the line then where do you propose we draw it?
