Real pacifist crowds you got there
Don’t we support the death penalty? Surely Elon wouldn’t just get prison that would suck
There’s a fair amount of us that are against punitive/retributive justice as a rule actually. Whenever I post about it I get a fair number of upbears so I assume I’m not alone.
just get prison
Wait till you find out most of us are prison abolitionists as well lol.
Restorative justice is cool and good!
As long as we keep people like musk under tight surveillance so they don’t get up to any counter-revolutionary shit they wouldn’t be dangerous after we take their stuff. We might have to spread them out over long distances and confine them to rural areas to make it hard to do conspiracies, but there are ways to keep them in check while allowing them a degree of freedom and dignity (which, let me be clear, they do not deserve. It’s not for them, it’s for us)
I think there’s a significant contradiction between prison abolition and running any sort of state, especially a post-revolutionary one where reaction is inevitable.
To paraphrase , the day after the revolution, are we suddenly going to treat the fascists with kid gloves? Will they be allowed to go back to what they are doing now and we can’t even arrest them?
I don’t. It doesn’t work and provably makes things worse. There is no justification for killing prisoners or criminals during peacetime. It’s not even a mercy or compassion thing, it provably creates negative outcomes for the community.
I would support violence in the revolution that’s inevitable and necessary for the revolution to succeed (in minecraft). But hell no I do not support literal murder as a part of a justice system, I’d hope most of us aren’t that bloodthirsty and retributive
Lock Elon and every other ghoul up, their torture can be spending the rest of their days seeing the world change
I still think the greatest revenge is turning them in to good communists, as that would require utterly destroying the person they were and reforming them as something else.
99% of cases I’m against the death penalty. But in the clear cut cases where it’s obvious someone is an irredeemable Nazi, line them up.
Like Anders Breivik. The relatively comfy imprisonment he’s been given is great for most people, but he should have been taken out back, shot, and dropped in a ditch.
