^The police are government sanctioned kidnappers in my eyes, they take people and lock them up in cages against their will for years on end. I have many friends and family members that are or have been in jail. I hate the institution that put them there just like I'd hate a kidnapper for holding those same people in their basement because he had judged them to be wrong.
I don't even neccesarily hate every individual cop as a person, I do however believe that becoming a police officer makes you a bad person due to the nature of the job, and I hate the institution of police.
I never even hinted at thinking that society should be completely without any rules, I just hate the police because I think they do a lot more harm then good.
You are anarchist if you "don't really believe any people should be punished for crimes".
Go read some Chomsky, Goldman, Proudhon or Kropotkin and try again because that's not anarchism, if anything it's an incredibly oversimplified version of pop-culture anarchism. I've never met an anarchist that didn't believe in rules and holding people accountable for their actions.
Anarchists don't just think we should get rid of all of society's institutions and call it a day, that's clearly stupid. Anarchists believe in changing society to a place in which we don't need police, having a world without hierarchy. That's what anarchism means- lack of hierarchy. There are many ideas on how to do this, from Anarcho-syndicalism to anarcho-capitalism, anarcho-capitalism being the only one that even comes close to fitting what people in this thread are ignorantly calling anarchy.
I never said dangerous people shouldn't be apprehended, I never said people shouldn't be rehabilitated after they commit a crime that requires rehabilitation, I said they shouldn't be punished. There's a pretty clear difference.
I don't think it's moral to lock people in cages because they did something I disagree with. If someone poses a threat to society they should be rehabilitated, not punished, punishing people for crimes is stupid and does absolutely nothing to make the world a better place, it just hurts more people.
I think the goal of the criminal justice system should be to lessen crime. If you punish people for committing crimes while ignoring the reason people commit the vast majority of those crimes (the income gap and class division), then you are increasing crime. When someone robs a house because they need to feed their family, are they doing something wrong? Of course. But what happens when we take that person away from their family and take away any means they have to support that family? Do you think that deters their family members from committing crimes? When that person gets out of prison and has a felony that keeps them from employment on their record, and all their assets are gone, what do you think they're going to do- commit more crime or be homeless?
The idea of punishing people for crimes is pointless, expensive, childish and mean. We should rehabilitate people and help them get out of situations in which they need crime to survive. Only then will the police have a true purpose in society. As it is the police mainly protect the wealthy and fuck up the poor community while raising crime levels. That strikes me as counter to what the goals of the justice system should be.
And no rules, no laws but only survival of the fittest. The meek shall inherit the earth? Bah! The meek will get fucked in the ass and then beg for more
