[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DSA member here who is in no way purporting to speak on anyeone's behalf but my own: the crime wave sucks! I am still in favor of restorative justice. I am also in favor of abolishing prison. Your lack of nuance suggests you don't understand the difference between [b]trying to build a society where prisons are unnecessary[/b] and emptying prisons into your community. [/quote] This may take awhile.[/quote] They way there seems (counterintuitively) to be through capitalism (or some other system than incentivizes innovation), because the condition precedent to reducing property based crimes is to increase production to the point where the supply for any particular good exceeds demand. At that point, what would be the point of property crimes? We’ll still need prisons for emotional / inter-personal crimes. Unless you’re envisioning a dystopian future where we drug everyone into docile compliance. [/quote]
