Agree

Yes, and we should socialize medicine and healthcare

This answer aligns most closely with anarcho-communist ideals, as it suggests moving towards a system where healthcare, including life-saving drugs, is socialized and presumably available to all according to need. However, the use of the term 'socialize' implies some form of state control, which is not in line with the anarcho-communist vision of a stateless society. Despite this, the underlying principle of universal access to healthcare is in strong agreement with anarcho-communist values.

Disagree

Yes, and the government should regulate the price of all prescription drugs

Disagree

Yes

Thus, the concept of a government regulating prices contradicts the fundamental principles of anarcho-communism, which seeks to eliminate hierarchical structures and state control, including government regulation of industries.

No, but shorten the lifespan of drug patents

Shortening the lifespan of drug patents might seem like a step towards making drugs more accessible, but it still accepts the premise of intellectual property and capitalism, which are fundamentally opposed by anarcho-communism.

Very strongly disagree

No

While anarcho-communism is against government intervention in markets, this answer implies a laissez-faire approach to markets that is not aligned with anarcho-communist principles. Anarcho-communism does not support the existence of markets in life-saving drugs in the first place, aiming instead for a society where resources are distributed according to need.

No, limiting drug prices would also limit the investment in research and development into new life-saving drugs

Anarcho-communism seeks to reorganize society around the principles of mutual aid, communal ownership, and the fulfillment of needs, including healthcare and medicine.
