Nah, make the rich afraid again. We can talk red rose pacifism once the ultrawealthy are out of the picture.

But when the death penalty is available, it’s not just the ultra wealthy who suffer. It’s far easier for the ultra wealthy to use their resources to frame someone they don’t like as a murderer or something and get that person executed. It’s even easier for the state to do that if they are corrupt enough. I’d much rather not give the state the right to sentence anyone to death at any point. Make these ultra rich criminals go to prison for the rest of their lives, make it unpardonable too.

Not every country has a genocidal fascist regime as a government. Viet Nam is definitely not one of those.

Can you trust it would stay that way? There is no such thing as immunity from fascism.
