“The ideological work that the prison performs,” Angela Davis writes in Are Prisons Obsolete?, is that it “relieves us of the responsibility of seriously engaging with the problems of our society.”

I agree. End the coddling of the welfare state and the regulations that bar people from adequately engaging in the market and labor force. There should be a restoration of public hangings, drawings, and quarterings. Empty the jails with firing squads.

The argument against the death penalty used to be (a) that innocent people are judged guilty and that should never be accepted, and (b) the cost of retrials ends up more expensive in the long-term than lifelong prison sentences.

Given how propagandized things have become with academia, I have questions whether (b) is actually true. It used to be something that made sense, but in hindsight who knows what falsifications were made; where as for (a) we have clear and undeniable evidence of the wrongfully convicted.

Liberals push recidivation policies quite a bit. Some of it makes sense, but of course, they can't be entirely taken as being of good faith. Deprivatization of prisons might be a safe-ish topic given the clear conflict of interest, even when balanced against governmental inefficiencies.

End conclusion of this post in response to your flippant comment being used as a spring-board? Thanks, academia, for fucking up all faith, good will, and trust, so we can't have serious conversations due to your willful agenda pushing about idiocy like transgenderism and Burn Loot Murder.

Marxists have little use for prisons - they prefer killing fields.

In his book A Critical Theory of Police Power, Mark Neocleous argues that “the genius of liberalism was to make the police appear as an independent, non-partisan agency simply enforcing the law and protecting all citizens equally from crime.” He adds later that “the existence of discretion allows the state [...] to appear as standing at arms-length from the processes of administration and thus the policing of civil society.”

This guy is part of Red Quill Books, who published the Communist Manifesto in comic book form. That's the sort of academia the author is relying on.

Also, obligatory Yousef, though Neocleous is probably Greek or Cypriot, surprisingly enough.

This dude really loves his commie professor. I don't think he's being capitalist at all.
