We can't be squeamish now. We can't clutch our pearls over "criminality" as defined by a State that exerts violent control over us all.
As far as I'm concerned, as long as our prisons are still standing, we haven't yet done enough to vanquish fascism. You have to burn the roots.

in reply to Artemis • • •Dear liberals (if any of you are reading), please for the sake of us all, we need you to get over your fear of "criminals" as a class of person.
We need you to trust that we can build a better society that deals with violence, when it occurs, differently. For that matter, we already know that "crime" decreases when poverty decreases, so our "crime" problem is primarily a poverty problem!

We're not free until we are all free.

in reply to Artemis • • •Interestingly, I'm definitely a liberal and also am completely 100% aware of the obvious fact that you mention.

- Healthcare should not be provided by the market because it's nondiscretionary
- Imprisoning people is almost always counterproductive
- Benefits shouldn't be means-tested
By the way, what do you think “liberal” means?

in reply to Artemis • • •Yes, there are actual people out there who want to hurt you. Most of them are already in positions of power or are seeking them out but you probably weren't thinking about that kind of crime even though you are far more likely to be a victim of it. You are probably already a victim of multiple crimes of that type. Go after them. They are the criminals stalking you and targeting you.
Not a guy living in his car or the person begging for food. That could be you. That could be you.
One medical emergency, one weather disaster, one layoff -- that could be you.

in reply to Artemis • • •Yep. The segments of society who feel the most excluded, will inevitably feel less bound by the "social contract" (because it was already torn up for them!) and the laws of society. That should be obvious, but the NIMBYs' first instinct is always harsher policing and increased gentrification to shield them from the hordes at the gates.
Preventing such stratification is one important reason there are no private schools in Finland.
