"Anyway, yeah, your dad had a weak stomach…"
Yeah, no we can still want justice and not want to be horrified by the act of execution for the rest of our lives.
Or, I don't know, perhaps we can crush parts of their body one at a time. Or maybe set fire to their limbs one at a time. I mean, why not?
(And never mind that if The State could, even once, execute someone who is innocent, it renders capital punishment instantly null and void in my mind.)
- romanhounds 3mo agoAnd what's your solution for this gross asymmetry of wealth? "Engineers" working 4 hours a week from resorts for enormous salaries? PE and VC run rampant, politicians bought and paid for, lobbying for corporate interests... I don't see why they should be allowed to keep accumulating more power and wealth..
- halperter 3mo agoClearly not capital punishment? A lack of capital punishment ≠ lack of punishment. Boycotts, protests, new supply chains, political pressure, etc? The bourgeoisie still need the proletariat, thus, the proletariat can influence the bourgeoisie through solidarity. Commentator above said nothing about not punishing the bourgeoisie anyways.
