China execute more billionaires challenge
Wasn’t a billionaire and executions by the state, especially only 2 weeks after the trial, are not things to be celebrated :comrade-doggo:
Everyone’s all rah rah guillotine emoji eat the rich until it actually happens
There’s a big difference between doing it in a revolution vs an established state doing it.
until it actually happens
What happened? The rationalized bureaucratic state scapegoated some guy to externalize the internal contradictions?
:liberty-weeping: oh no a poor multi millionaire CEO, the humanity :liberty-weeping:
wouldn’t it be better to just throw him in a labor camp for the rest of his days, executions have been proven to not be an effective deterrent for crime.
China also executes people for drug charges, I hope you wouldn’t agree with that being something good
IMO leaving these rich & powerful people alive is always dangerous, it’s better to just get rid of them. Plus, if the CCP was ever to collapse, at least there won’t be a possibility of these people getting freed from jail – which you know would happen if some pro-western group was to take power in the country.
But yeah, I don’t think random drug dealers should be executed.
after 2008 issuing the death sentence for a couple of corrupt bourgeois fuckers
America only arrested one or two guys, China is much better, they go after ten or twelve!
Yeah much better for the state to execute someone before their trial even when they’ve not been accused of any wrongdoing… RIIIIIIiiiiiiighhhhtttt?
I’m not a believer in state-sanctioned capital punishment on principle, but I’m not gonna lose much sleep over this one.
The problem with socialism is eventually you run out of billionaires to kill. Deng made sure to supply the state with a fresh quantity of billionaires so they could get chopped later :deng-smile:
Some of us believe in restorative justice but go off.
The use of a death penalty is not very controversial in China. The western left cares about this issue a lot more. Justice reform efforts here focus on other aspects.
it’s certainly less controversial than in the west but I don’t think it’s universally accepted, i believe around 60-80% of the population supports it
The number does not reveal the whole sentiment. It is not the biggest issue for most who oppose it and the objection does not look the same as the western discussion of the issue.
I would generally agree with you regarding effectiveness, except that being as there are only a few thousand billionaires on the planet, I reckon that executions would be pretty effective at resolving that problem.
