It's always funny to me how western media tries to frame this as a bad thing.
"Not even their elites are safe from their government!" Oh no, how terrible that they face consequences for their actions like the rest of us
That was one of the weirdest parts of a really awful interview Zizek did, "The most dangerous place to be was on top" under Stalin and that this was worse than what the Nazis did.
lmao the higher ups have more power, therefore more responsibility and culpability for wrongdoing, therefore they are more severely punished. What a fucking mystery that the people who did the most wrong had the most power?
What a fucking astute observation by brain genius Zizek

Not a fan of the death penalty, but this is one way to do it.
You get two years to not fuck up, and if you manage that it gets reduces to a life sentence or some other fixed sentence
I'm not really a fan of the death penalty for normal human crimes, but I kinda don't mind it for bourgeois crimes.
I was thinking about this in regards to the death penalty in revolutionary societies, I feel like there's a distinction to be made between 'circumstantial' crimes like theft or murder, where someone has to be in a particular place and time etc., they could be motivated by economic hardship, they could even just be innocent - versus 'structural' crimes where their guilt is a result of their position in an organization that cannot be deflected.

When westerners try to bring up social credit scores, this is what they're fearmongering about. They're afraid of wealthy parasites facing even an ounce of consequences.
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
I'm not for the death penalty, but if we're gonna have it, this is what it should be used for
Good news, the actual sentence in reality is life in prison. This ruling nearly always is commuted to life in prison

God I wish we did this kind of thing in the West
Two year reprieve meaning in two years they still stretch his neck or give him the Ol Yeller treatment or whatever?
Thats a long time to think about whats coming, frankly. If theyre going to end his life just fucking do it already. My dislike of the death penalty is tempered a hair by the fact that this jackwagon is of the bourgeois class but two years just seems like a needless holiday. Either do it or dont.
They give him 2 years to not fuck up.
If he does 💀
If he doesn't, it gets commuted to life or some other sentence.
More like a suspended sentence, where he gets two years to prove he's not doing any more crimes or he gets the chop. Still comes with a life sentence at the end of the suspension instead of it being considered served though.
