How would pure communism deal with it?

[thinkerOFthoughts]

Ok their is something I wanna know. Recently here in Vermont a guy ran over a man and crushed his skull (after they had an argument) then he drove away washed his vehicle and lied to the cops. For some reason the judge decided he could not be proved guilty (tho their was lots of video evidance and such) he got 6 months for misdemeanors:blink::mad: how would a communist society deal with this?

:blink: Hopefully, stone the judge/remove him from his position.

[thinkerOFthoughts]

And how would they deal with the criminal that ran over the poor mans head? what kind of punishment would most likely be sought out?

[Vendetta]

Most likely whatever the community sees fit.

The issue of what to do about violent criminals is a complicated one, and you'll get a whole range of responses from different leftists. I haven't done so, but I'm sure if you search the forum for things like "crime punishment", "death penalty", or "prisons", you'll get a whole lot of results. You can get a good idea of what people here think about this that way.

What if the community sees fit to let the guy off with a warning and another community gives life in prison to a guy who stole food, for some reason?

thats a non argument because in a non-scarcity society there would be no need to steal food. All sustinance and other needs would be available freely and on point of demand.

Well, it is a what if question. What if there is an extremely gluttonous person?
Besides, my point wasnt stealing food. It was what if one community gives a small punishment for a large crime and what if another community gives a large punishment for a small crime.

[Dóchas]

it wouldnt really make sense,using their sense they would have to deal out punishments in proportion to the crime commited

[Thunder]

Cant think of any examples of this off the top of my head, but in one culture/community something might be seen as extremely bad as in another culture/community it is seen as okay. The community seeing it as bad will dish out a large punishment for something others might see as okay.

That already goes on with different governments in different countries, so I don't see your point.

The way i see it, under communism gluttony would be curtailed through equal logistics. People would have equal transport means, so they could only carry a specific maximum quantity (but far more than what they can purchase under capitalism).

well, thats partly why i don't support anarchy. I think even in a post revolutionary situtation some form of state apparatus needs to remain in place to disperse specific policies.

I agree, its not fair that someone should get the death penalty while someone somewhere else gets a year in prison for the same offence.

So the state must always exist? I thought Marxism wanted the eventual disintegration of the state. IDK

Yeah, the key word in that sentance is "eventual".

how would a communist society deal with this?

The communist ideology does not deal with justice system. The question makes no sense.
