So I have a mental illness. Severe depression; in the state I'm in I am disqualified from voting based on my mental illness.

If I communist party took power today would I still not be able to vote? :crying:

You will not be discriminated against in anyway in a communist society.

WHAT! I have mdd too and if they told me that I couldn't vote because of it I would be one very very angry panda, biblical wrath level anger. I feel that your rights have been violated here so pm me if you want me to help in any way.

I had no idea they disqualified people from voting due to mental health status. I mean, when I think about it, it makes perfect sense. How can you assure yourself the status quo? Don't let those who don't like your society vote! (granted depression is deeper than a simple dislike, but many of the far left whom I have met suffer from some level of depression)

This is madness!
(pun intended)

Such things obviously must not be allowed in a far leftist society. (the discrimination not be allowed that is)

in fact there have been very interesting experiments in radical psychiatry, some turned out to be monumental failures but even those are still grounds to have a good look at the way society and more precise psychiatry approaches patients and their sicknesses.
