We can humanely protect the revolution and hopefully show people how to see themselves as the same as their fellow human beings. But, the person who has no remorse for the suffering of others as a byproduct of their capitalist accumulation is just as dangerous, if not more dangerous than a serial killer.
Absolutely. However, I don't see any way to accomplish that without at least the backstop of a custodial institution that -- no matter how humane it gets -- is still essentially a prison.
Skim through this. That's still fundamentally a prison, but it's an order of magnitude less brutal than anything in America. They're taking seriously the concept that restriction of freedom is supposed to be the only punishment. I see that as an acceptable way to treat (and I do mean treat, as in "try to help") people who harm others, and I don't see any way a modern industrialized society can exist without at least the possibility of sending people to a place like this.
I am very familiar with the Norwegian prison system and while I agree that yes it is technically a prison the ability to find fulfillment in your life is much higher. I know that any revolution requires bloodshed but my enemy is only my enemy because he sees me as an other, so the best way to not be an other is to treat them like everyone else and bridge that gap. I know it's idealist but without dreams like that I find it easy to spiral into doomer mode.
