To play devils advocate just to show some perspective, if we are to agree that prisons and the justice system is a tool designed to instill fear into those who might join in on revolutionary action what about those who are in jail for non-political purposes like white collar crimes, torture crimes, murder crimes and rape crimes excluding statutory rape where the girl is 17 and guy 18 scenario.
There are some people who I believe deserve to be locked up though. Those who are mentally ill should receive proper special treatment not in a jail or prison but mental institution. There are too many mentally ill people locked up in prisons and that is an injustice. A lot of the crimes that are committed are drug related crimes but why do people feel the need to numb them selves up with drugs and alcohol all the time? What are the conditions that would cause somebody to poison them selves for a temporary relief from reality; lack of opportunity perhaps which can be combined with low education with lack of wealth and liquor stores on every street corner with advertisements of people living a life of pleasure wear and consuming things that they don’t have even though they really don’t need those things in order to be happy. The pressure to keep up with the rest of the world and on to always be on top of everything and to not fall behind etc etc. Life would be so much easier if you could just rob a $500,000 from a bank and fly off in a helicopter to Geneva Switzerland and never turn back. It’s no wonder we have so many problems with depression, crime and people trying to escape reality and getting trouble with the law developing drug problems and going in and out of jail or DEATH.
With poverty being the root cause of crime I believe that if we were to do away with the Capitalist system a lot of these problems with locking people up and throwing away the key would simply vanish into thin air. This drug war has got to end. We have to look at the root cause of why people do drugs and drink so much all the time. What drives people to drink?
Improving the conditions of society would require a revolution to take place first so we can start all over from scratch. We don’t stand a snowball chance in hell with the system we got making everyone miserable wanting to go out and shoot somebody or them selves. Say after we win the battle and have reached a point where everybody is well compensated and working once again but with human rights and equality for once, at least when somebody commits a crime there will be less crimes and we’ll be able to narrow it down a lot so that more crimes are committed for other reasons not so much drug related or money related crimes. What incentive is there to steal or kill for money if everybody were living in a vibrant, collective, fully voluntary society where cooperation and sharing with other people is just the norm? People won’t be so high strung all the time and more people with mental problems won’t be so high strung either. It will definitely take the weight off of their backs. What a sigh of relief it would be for them only if.
If we had universal healthcare and the ranks were stripped away from our rulers to level the plain field to make us all equal with nobody above and nobody bellow there would be less to complain about. You can’t say oh my neighbor, he’s got it made in shade and shit what do I got? Consensus agreements replacing the old fashioned unilateral management of labor will finally take the constant fear of losing ones job off their backs. There would be less need for police since less people are willing to commit crime to get by or get ahead and once everyone is fully accommodated and comfortable with their new way of living the police would narrow down to a level where they are almost non-existent. But so long as the system we have is in place these things can never happen and we live in the now where our systems police will prevent any attempt to bring about such a perfect society.
Any Insurrectionary Anarchist should already be stock piled on food, water, weapons, survival books, and camping gear if the shit hits the fan and you have to leave your home because chances are likely that that you are black listed for arrest under martial law and might not ever be seen again if they come kick down your door and take you away so where.
If Martial Law is declared you will have no choice but to go all guerilla warrior straight up ZAPATISTA style. General Tommy Franks said “The constitution of the United States will be replaced by Martial Law after the next terror attack” http://www.infowars.com/print/ps/franks_martial.htm
