If, Buddha-willing, we get another shot at this shit and get the chance to try and enact a dictatorship of the proletariat, what do comrades here think we should actually do regarding prison systems, e.g. for political enemies? What do we think of reeducation camps? How should they be organised?

    Nicer (compared to gulag) enclave inside to let them do whatever, but their trade is restricted to something materially needed to society outside. If hundred thousands opinion makers can’t grow food, then they’ll have to provide something useful :shrug-outta-hecks: if they find another 100k dupes to serve them - let them, problem will solve itself in a generation.

    With billionaires specifically - 24/7 stream of them on the survivor island or whatever that’s called

      I'm sorry but billionaires and to an extent the upper levels of multi millionaires need to be shot. There is no rehabilitating that group. I can only hear so many stories of person x gambling my literal yearly salary on a single fucking football game before I'm fully on board with culling the lot of them

        That seems too kind :edgeworth-shrug:

        But also question is kinda bad, fantasies even violent ones don’t bring this closer. my answer can bring common camaraderie over image of bosses trying to figure out how to grow corn, while violent ones repel people usually

        Killing them only validates the idea that they have any actual power, that their innate superiority makes them a threat even without money or connections or the control of physical instruments of labor

        Their power is illusory, based on economic augury and arcane market ritualism, it is the power of a priest-caste. Killing the God (capitalist mode of production+ideological superstructure) makes the priests laymen like the rest of us. Killing the priest just makes him into a martyr.
