    If killing criminals works, why are there still criminals?

        I don't like how much I like that idea. The death penalty isn't a deterrent to violent crime because no one doing violent enough crimes to be executed hasn't already accepted their own death. You don't do shit that heinous (talking about civilian on civilian crime here -- death penalty for merking feds is obviously political shit) unless you've essentially already died. But white collar shit? They don't need to do that. They're just sickos that love the game. But I think a lot of them would rather be alive or seek power in other ways or wouldn't be as encouraged to engage in antisocial behavior if they could get executed for helping their boss steal tax money.

          I'm guessing that's the conclusion the CPC reached considering how their Bourgeoise react to receiving death sentences.

        Well yes under the dictatorship of the proletariat when the minority is the oppressed class.
