People are going to "deal drugs" as long as others are going to want to do them, regardless of if the socioeconomic system is an class based, exploitative one or not

i maintain this guy was fucked in the head.
deservance of pity is an entirely different matter. i vote no
I just find the notion of your three kids, wandering around a neighborhood at night, being given drugs by your local drug lord, to be a weird image outdated and dumb in a variety of ways.
Yes, children go door-to-door in my town without parents.
The myth that never dies.
