  • Really, if you ask yourself “what would happen to someone in an anarchist society who killed a serial killer/rapist/molester/etc etc in revenge” and the answer is “little or nothing” you probably have your answer to how that society would handle serial killers, rapists, molesters, etc.

    A rapist/murderer might be just a rapist/murderer to some, to others the person might alsl be friend, relative, lover, child or parent. While I do not see myself in the position to stop someones revenge against their abuser or the killer of a loved one, I really hope this will not be the norm. Because as I said, the killed person might have people that care about them that most likely will get hurt by this and also might want to do revenge for that. I also believe that the act of killing can be very harmful to those doing the killing.

    I think anarchist societies should focus on prevention and doing things that actually help those that got harmed, which might vary widely by the individual.



  • I made one theme that tries to mirror the current default one on slrpnk.net. You can add it to your list of themes here: https://photon.slrpnk.net/theme

  • However, as I understand it, at times the only real way to protect the community in the society we currently live in seems to be talking with the pigs.

    I think this is true in some situations and imo its okay to call the cops in a situation that not only endangers the community but also oneself. Like people trying to physically harm you and you don’t have any safer alternatives to protect yourself. Sadly many people are not part of communities that enable them to fully skip every interaction with cops.

    To your serial killer example: If in your hypothetical situation there is a key benefit in turning the evidence over to the police in comparison to just publishing it so everyone(including the police)/only your local community can access the evidence, I dont see why not. Its also not something I would call “snitching”.

    In an anarchistic society the serial killer could be sent to the psych ward and dealt with humanely.

    Also I just want to mention, I think this is not something with a consensus in anarchist circles.
