Yes, the argument is that she's just suiciding and that Canada has been expanding the MAID law to the point it's going to become a soft eugenics engine of "voluntary" "deaths of despair". Instead of solving the underlying causes of those problems.

I reckon we're ultimately going to see euthanasia show the same gender, race, class, and disability discrimination as wider society. We see women consistently denied pain management, minorities sidelined, two tier semi private healthcare systems, and the disabled pushed to the fringes. For every wealthy person who wants to avoid palliative care there will be dozens of mentally ill homeless who have no support and no future. Canada only looks good in comparison to the USA, they are still too unequal to run programs like this.

So what? She only has some mental issues that can be mediated through treatment. If she tried to commit suicide they would have her committed but the state kills her and it's fine now?
>On what basis?
Pressuring people who are vulnerable and costs capitalists money.
I can see the sales pitch now:
>If you are poor, homeless, mentally ill, crippled, or socially outcast our wonderful government can give you the sweet release of death! Don't worry, if you just sign this paper, the pain caused by treatable issues will go away permanently! You don't want to end up raped in prison for stealing bread and living under a bridge do you? The choice is up to you…

In theory I agree with MAID when it comes to people with terminal illness. But in our society, MAID applied to treatable mental and social problems is not good.

It says ADHD and autism, both of which can be pretty bad on their own even with treatment. Plenty of people already do commit suicide because they don't want to live with a disability, and it's ridiculous to try to tell them they're crazy and need to live for as long as modern medicine can keep them breathing.

>LaRouchite cope
I didn't know LaRouche was alive when Lenin wrote his work about Empirocriticism.
>Capitalism and feudalism both have commodity production. Socialism does not
How do you know? The difference was that commodity production was generalized in capitalism, there is nothing that suggests that socialism has no commodity production whatsoever, as the USSR showed - "birthmarks of the old society" and all. Marxism is a science of tendencies, that talks about things accumulation and agglomeration.
>Under both Marxist and Leninist definitions, yes.
Anglo brainrot would do so much definition-mongering that Cuba is now imperialist. The absolute state. Let's do the checklist again, apparently Swaziland and the Republic of Atos are capitalist and imperialist as well.
>The very fact that they're even allowed to be in the party is a huge fucking L
I don't give a shit about your Ls and neither do the Chinese people. Particularist interests are not the same as class interests, as in, a class for itself, not as itself.
>And? Who said I was a Maoist? Didn't even try to deny the other points btw.
It was retarded to bring up Pinochet when China's limited recognition of Pinochet was motivated by geopolitical interests solely, not economic ones, unlike trade with Israel. The whole argument is moralism anyway.
