Look, if we intend to make it through all the chaos that is coming, a lot of us need to start thinking in terms of liberation in a big way. We need transformative justice not imprisonment & slavery.

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.

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!

@krans @artemis start from your principles, figure out what's right and wrong, and then notice that the people in power who define what "liberal" means in this world have come to very different conclusions to you. The things you think of as good and right are things they fight tooth and nail against - far harder than they ever fight against Nazis. Then maybe you'll realize that the term liberal was never meant for you, it is a term used to co-opt you. As the saying goes, scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds. Liberals have internalized all kinds of fascist ways of thinking but don't want to admit to themselves that that's what has been done to them
