The need to stay away from drugs in guerrilla struggles

Drugs have been and continue to be the weapon of states in the deep suppression of the protesting masses. The states by promoting drugs and collaborating with the drug mafia, states target a specific sector and possibly the entire society in order to make the society dependent on themselves through the supply of drugs, in addition to depriving the people of operational power.(For financing the guerrilla activities, smuggling weapons, food, hostage-taking and robbery should not have any collaborate with drug mafia.)

In my definitions, narcotics are classified into two types: chemical narcotics, which in any case our task is to deny and the need to fight them, and the next category is natural narcotics, which are such as coffee, white sugar, cigarettes, marijuana, alcohol, opium and ect, Although the use of natural drugs is not a problem, but we should not become dependent on them.

Personal dependence, which is part of individualism, is one of the major factors that keeps us away from collectivism activity. Drug addiction is a personal addiction that, in addition to developing individualism in us, which reduces our ability to engage in militant activities. For example: Imagine that one of our comrades is imprisoned and there is a need to carry out a sabotage operation in solidarity with him, we may have to hide somewhere in secret for days, and with little things to keep ourselves alive for an opportunity to attack. In fact, to do such an operation we must minimize our dependencies through practice and self-control. In order to resist and carry out such guerrilla operations, we must not be dependent on drugs, especially in cases where dependence on them further manipulates our minds and bodies.

Emotional attachment is another issue that, although not relevant to the title of this article, is worth mentioning: Emotional attachment is another issue that can overshadow us in guerrilla operations, we must first be ruthless against the enemy and we should not let emotions to change our decision. The second case is our personal dependence on family and friends that can be overcome with self-control and we should not allow it to seriously affect our activities. Accepting responsibility for friends, spouse, child, etc must be accepted, but struggles are always a priority.
