  • It’s also worth noting that Mandela founded the ANC’s guerilla branch. Western media today portrays him as a purely non-violent, MLK-like figure, but in reality he was central to the ANC’s decision to begin an armed struggle against apartheid.

    It’s almost as if:

    During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred and the most unscrupulous campaigns of lies and slander. After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a certain extent for the “consolation” of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it.



  • repairing harm through dialogue between victims, offenders, and community members

    What if the person who committed the crime doesn’t want to engage in this process? What if the victim of the crime doesn’t want to? What if a person accused of a crime maintains their innocence? There are plenty of cases where restorative justice can work, but many others where it won’t.

    addressing root causes like poverty, mental health issues, and substance abuse

    the goal is to create a society where crime is less likely to occur

    I think this is a much better framework to work with than prison abolition. Picking up the pieces after a crime has been committed is expensive and usually leaves you choosing from a range of bad options.









  • You’re talking nonsense. Yes, living people are currently causing climate change. Those most responsible have names and addresses.

    The world should have burned down to the groun… to nothingness 10 times over according to all the specialists/scientists.

    This is just embarrassingly ignorant. The climate is deteriorating faster than scientists predicted, not slower.

    Your answer to OP’s question is denial and a refusal to actually investigate the situation.
