    That makes much more sense, focusing on rehabilitation and prison reform, re-forming the criminal justice system.

    What I’m hearing from the community here, though, is “this is bad” rather than “this is how to make it better.”

    Abolition of what I’m assuming it’s the American carceral system makes sense, and it needs some discrete goals to focus on, rather than “not what we have now”.

    A lack of practical solutions is where anarchism rises or stagnates.

    The pirate party in Sweden successes because their mission was very clear, to reform copyright law from punitive for consumers to practical for the artists, and then on strengthening the right to privacy.

    Any “abolition” movement should have clear stated intentions; getting rid of broad foundations of the current system without even theoretical replacements or organization necessarily results in an entropic echo chamber of ultimately dead air.

      You’re making a lot of assumptions without doing the work of engagement. You’re literally making stuff up about what abolitionists and anarchists believe. Please instead read something by Interrupting Criminalization or Critical Resistance instead of making stuff up.
