Because it’s what they believe. The French Revolutionaries opened the prisons. So did Lenin. The cruelty is the point. The destruction of society is the point.

In all seriousness, how the hell did prison abolition become a thing on the left?

Ordinary criminals are their foot soldiers. They’re fine with prisons for political prisoners though.

They opened them … before they filled them again. The originals were majority thieves, killers, rapists - the scum of society. The replacements were majority “wrongthink” - the political opposition and the men with free minds.

The French socialists opened prisons to kill the inmates and then filled them with political prisoners awaiting the guillotine. Lenin and the Bolsheviks literally created the Gulag. What in the world are you talking about lol. This is a feature of the New Left, not the Old Left.

Would be OK with very few in prisons as majority of murderers, rapists and heinous crimes should face capital punishment and most of the rest should be on chain gangs. Petty crimes should have public corporal punishment.

At least when the Cubans did it, they were smart enough to dump their criminals on a society they oppose!

I believe it's cruel to use tax money to provide security, food, and housing to criminals.

Also a good time to remind passerby that it was the Crown of France that aided the American Revolution, not the 1st Republic (which we almost went to war with).

Leftism has always had as a goal to replace the horizontal/historical relationships that unify traditional communities with vertical ties that bind atomized individuals to the State and its corporate allies.

It's a cruel irony that the very same radical feminists who fought so hard for their rights and freedom "from men" are going to be the very same people that express endless empathy for criminals, free them and get themselves killed and enslaved. Humans are retarded. Oh well.

First act of the socialists after they won the election in 1936 was to release criminals and murderers.

They thrive on chaos, succeed in internal upheaval. They need the society to become unlivable so they can make their madness make sense as they blame capitalism for their own work.

It's really no more difficult to understand than that. I don't know why people have a hard time with this. Marxists, leftists, Maoists, Jacobins, democrats...they are all the same in that regard. They are wreckers, convinced they have to destroy what is, to bring in the "new".

"The destruction of society is the point" Not being able to grok this is the great conservative failure-of-mind. Without at least a little sliver of evil in your own heart, it is almost impossible to understand the existence of evil. Hence all the "They ofc mean well but..."

Destabilization of society is necessary in order to bring about the new order. Once the new order is established the destabilizing elements are no longer needed and get liquidated.

They believe man can be perfected if they’re given enough resources and compassion. There was a movie about the First Russian serial killer after the communist revolution and it was mostly about how government denied it. No one could do that in the communist utopia.

They have to create disorder by weakening the existing & functional judicial system (which they cannot wholly eliminate) to thereafter obtain/consolidate the police power necessary for Marxism to attempt to function.

Afterwards, the normies will scream for someone, anyone to stop it. The Left steps up, saying they can...if only you give them this, this, and that set of "temporary emergency powers." Then you have to shoot your way out. Agreed: none of this is accidental.

Romance of Revolution, overthrow establishment exciting!! Yet, its pirates, wealth transcends a Nation (=Nazi), or a people=Race, Ethncity (28 and Me!). Religion? Old Tradition 'we've long since Progressed beyond'. Yet their offspring, meant to be the new dynasty? Confused.
