Okay y'all #anarchist and #communist folks: discussion time: do you think legalism is a good foundation for a justice system?
@Ratttz I have questions about coordination and justification of use of force under anarchism, but that's a separate topic :)
I'm definitely a fan of community restorative justice as an ideal, but I have the concern that social groups don't always have the motivation to engage necessary for an actual justice process.
@Ratttz tbh I think it's kind of hard to imagine any justice system ("system" in the very loose sense) that isn't going to be a little haphazard, ultimately. Legalism is an attempt to enforce uniformity, but we know that this means a neglect of context and proportionality.
@Ratttz I think lack of reasonable proportionality is one of the primary reasons why people don't use the extant court system to settle disputes.
