    Unfortunately there will always be a need for some sort of professional law enforcement. Humans suck and hurt people, and mob justice is rarely a good thing.

    But it definitely doesn’t need to be handled the way it currently is.

      You are right that mob justice is not good but there are much better ways to handle crime than with the current policing and prison system and its retribution focus (as opposed to reformation). Check out !abolition@slrpnk.net if you want to learn more

      There is no need for hierarchy and its law. The centralized hierarchical authority which backs the police and their system of law are the problem, not the solution. It cannot be reformed and must be abolished.

        Bro, I straight up said the current system isn’t the solution.

          This wasn’t you? This is part of that system. This what I am saying we need to do away with. There is no need for the system of law and those who enforce it.

            Professional law enforcement and the current system aren’t mutually inclusive.

              They, in fact, are from the anarchist perspective.

                Well yeah, because that perspective relies on the belief that humans will just stop behaving like humans.

                Crime will still exist.

                  Miss me with the simplistic “humans are inherently bad” bullshit and go read Kropotkin and Graeber.

                    It’s not that humans are inherently bad, it’s that inherently bad humans exist.

                    Changing the hierarchial structure of society and our economic system isn’t going to stop rapists and murderers.

        That’s not at all relevant to the conversation because I already said it would have to be different than it is now.

        Are you illiterate?
