  • "Just because I don't fully understand my own ideology doesn't mean you shouldn't agree with me"?

    That's the argument you're going with?

    Also please show me where I said "the police exactly as we have them now". The police exactly as we have them now fucking suck, but you seem to think they should be abolished rather than reformed, and I'm still waiting for you to tell me how, why, and what they should be replaced with.

  • You say we don't. A cursory reading of the source you cited seems to imply that we do. Obviously, then, a cursory reading of the source is insufficient, and you must have some solution that will prevent crime in the absence of judges and police officers, right?

    You linked to this source, so surely you've read it and you understand the author's position better than I do, right?

  • Well, in a society without judges, as the article linked proposes, I'm having a hard time seeing it any other way.

  • maybe if i make this short enough you'll actually read the whole thing

  • Okay, so if we're not just going to trust that crime isn't going to happen, how are we going to prevent it? I asked you that, straight up, and you said "I'm not going to give you something just for you to poke holes in it. I've dealt with your kind before."

  • It's one of the major themes of the source that you linked.

    The many stories, past and present, that demonstrate how anarchy works have been suppressed and distorted because of the revolutionary conclusions we might draw from them. We can live in a society with no bosses, masters, politicians, or bureaucrats; a society with no judges, no police, and no criminals, no rich or poor; a society free of sexism, homophobia, and transphobia; a society in which the wounds from centuries of enslavement, colonialism, and genocide are finally allowed to heal. The only things stopping us are the prisons, programming, and paychecks of the powerful, as well as our own lack of faith in ourselves.

    Every society is going to have some criminals. Lack of access to things people need to survive is a major reason for commission of crimes, but it is not the only reason. Plenty of people do illegal things just because they feel like it. Some people are pathological liars. If a society cannot deal with those, it will eventually fail. Obviously crime will go down by (throwing a number out) a factor of at least five once the magical socialist utopia is in place, but to argue that it will entirely disappear is hopelessly naive.

  • Lol nice try but I don’t have to provide you with an alternative for you to attack. You’re wasting youre time there.

    "See, the thing is, I already know I'm right, so I'm not going to waste time by giving you arguments to find flaws in."

    I really, really hope I don’t have to explain why it being done by a state doesn’t magically make it better, in of itself.

    ...you mean why a system of justice that is held liable to a court system is not superior to a system of justice where people can just go after whomever they want? yeah, you do have to explain that actually
