Sure, death penalties are a problem though, outside of crisis and conflict. That is when the productive forces are developed as they are in China. The tradition of execution can also be traced to pre-Socialist movements and practices of parts of what we now call China (and the fucking imperialist Brits who used it at every opportunity). As such it predates Marxist-dialectical understandings and isn't just to be supported for the sake of it being practiced.

That said, Central Park looks good at this time of the year.
