Meanwhile, in America, a drug manufacturer sold tainted eye-drops that killed and seriously maimed people, and not one exec has faced consequences. There's barely been any media scrutiny, just boilerplate articles that refuse to name names or even attempt to explain what the fuck went wrong. As for the FDA, I've given up on them. They're fucking useless.

I'm against the death penalty, but at the same time I can't stand lib orgs like Amnesty who screech about how DYsTOPiAn the death penalty is in China when we have the exact same system here in the States except worse because it targets poor and non-white people exclusively.

    I mean, the problem is their access to power. If these dudes were working class they'd have never killed 6 children. Their bodies aren't irredeemable, only their relationship to capital. We don't need to destroy the body, only the relationship.

      If you take everything from a capitalist short of their life, you have created a fascist radical. People are not just their mechanical body and current social standing but also a psychology built upon past experiences

        China is not in a position to be threatened by a couple of former capitalists, especially if they're willing to put as much money into monitoring and rehabilitating them as they would have been incarcerating and eventually executing them. This is not civil war era russia we're talking about

        And this fundamental disagreement in values is why I'm an anarchist and not an ML

          How is this controversial? We'd put them on trial first!

          Should we also just not shoot the fascists? Not gulag the reactionaries? Revolutions are not clean things, not in the slightest.
