    That is reform, not abolition.

    It’s already being done by other countries.

    You’re also defining criminalization here in a way that it’s not commonly used, so a community-specific dictionary would help focus your community.

    The words being used in this community have different standard meanings than how you’re using them, and you’re saying that the way you’re using them is how they’re meant to be interpreted.

    If these words are meant to be interpreted in a specialized way, but you don’t explain those new definitions beforehand, it isn’t surprising that you’re going to get some pushback by claiming that blue is red.

      Again, abolition includes reform, but its ultimate goal is the revolutionary abolition of the carceral system.

      As for definitions, surely you can be smart enough to realize dictionary definitions aren’t the be all end all? Besides, my patience wears thin and I am beginning to believe you’re not here to engage in good faith, so I’m becoming increasingly disinterested in continuing this conversation.
