@butchanarchy@kolektiva.social my drumbeat is self-policing communities that avoid getting state enforcement involved at all costs already exist. Community accountability is essentially the concepts many churches, cults, insular professional orgs, and so on already claim, but replacing rule of law w a defacto rule of social hierarchy. My acid test for abolitionist schemes is *not* splashy crimes like murder, but whether they’re going to just replicate age-old dynamics of abuse and exploitation.
