Alter-Globalization

Very strongly agree

No

Alter-globalization ideology is closely aligned with principles of social justice, equity, and human rights. It tends to oppose policies that result in mass incarceration and the criminalization of poverty, including the criminalization of drug possession. Advocates within this movement are more likely to support approaches that focus on treatment, education, and rehabilitation over incarceration. Their stance is informed by a global perspective on the failures of punitive drug policies in various countries and the success of more humane approaches in places like Portugal, which decriminalized all drugs in 2001 and focused on treatment and harm reduction.

Disagree

Yes, but only for drug dealers, not users

While alter-globalization activists might see a distinction between drug users and drug dealers in terms of the impact and culpability, they generally oppose mandatory minimum sentences as a policy tool. They are likely to argue that such policies do not address the underlying social, economic, and health issues related to drug abuse and trafficking. However, they might see the differentiation between users and dealers as a step away from the most harmful aspects of drug criminalization policies. Still, the preference would likely be for comprehensive drug reform that emphasizes decriminalization, harm reduction, and rehabilitation over any form of mandatory sentencing.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Alter-globalization movements, which advocate for global cooperation to address global issues while opposing neoliberal globalization, generally support more compassionate and rehabilitative approaches to drug offenses rather than punitive measures. They often criticize policies that lead to mass incarceration, such as mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession, viewing them as part of a broader critique of neoliberal policies that prioritize punishment over social welfare and rehabilitation. Historical references include the opposition of alter-globalization activists to the War on Drugs, which they argue disproportionately affects marginalized communities and fails to address the root causes of drug abuse.
