    eye for an eye is not about everyone deserving to be blinded because they're sinners it's that most people don't agree when someone deserves to be blinded, and think they'd be justified to retaliate

      I read it as "if everyone squared their grievances we all be dead", and i don't think there are that many grievances to go around. And thinking that without law people will just go blinding each other in retaliations is that innate sinner mentality

        blood feuds are real, recorded events? communal retributive violence is a social problem that yeah, bourgeois/feudal monopolies on violence don't do the best job of addressing, but any socialist organization won't tolerate it either
