Related, what if we protected the privacy of everyone by default (which is an absolute joke in bourgeois society at the moment), but reserved technological surveillance as a measure applied to violent offenders? I think it would enable us to be less punitive, rather than being moreso - offenders could be released sooner and with more confidence of collective wellbeing, if they could be “sentenced” to constant surveillance with your Militia or whatever ready to intervene in moments possibly before they even offend (eg., when a situation starts becoming very heated)
Dystopian maybe, but less so than caging and psychologically torturing a human, just less familiar…
If it was global disarm the whole thing and just keep nuclear research as an energy thing, no one should have that much destructive power.
We should follow the Sankara line, once the revolution is complete, non-violence. Otherwise why did we fight? To put on the boot?
