This is a strange take. So what if it is more effort. I remember as a member of my cooperatives board, I was reading a lot of what-ifs. One was that if spikes of ice fell down and killed someone on the street, and it happened because of neglilence on the boards side, we would absolutely be under the gun.

- brigandish 3y agoIs rule of law more effective in non-capitalist jurisdictions?
- whitemary 3y agoMaybe, but capitalist rule of law makes hypothesis difficult to test. Rule of law has probably been most influential under capitalist authoritarianism like Nazi Germany.
- brigandish 3y agoMaybe? No examples? If you're going to make an example of capitalism in particular then you should be able to justify it with non-capitalist examples. Are there some socialist or feudal states where the more powerful would lose a case like this?
- byyyy 3y agoWe understand. He's just talking about how justice should work from a hypothetical perspective. Hypothetically we all want a justice system to be based on justice but everyone is well aware that the system is at its heart capitalistic. It's ok to discuss hypotheticals.
