This has always been a question of mine - how would a communist state deal with homicides, robbery, thefts, burglaries, and other nuisance crime

    Think of the moral hazard of capitalism needing workers to do dangerous jobs and therefore having an incentive to inflict poverty upon people until they are willing to risk their lives for a paycheck.

    That would be crazy.

      Well yeah sure, but thats not exactly an excuse for introducing potential incentives to stamp people as habitual criminals in order to coerce into dangerous work.

      Everyone here is or should be already aware of the structural horrors of capitalism, its not exactly a dunk to throw that at someone who's offering a critique to a proposed alternative, no reason to settle for marginally better than current existing capitalism.

        I wasn’t trying to dunk on anyone, just add to the conversation and topics to think about.
