    Even if we can’t, should we not try? It’s only, as you say, a few thousand. We can spare the resources to keep them locked up/under house arrest/whatever for the rest of their natural lives if we must.

    If we must execute people to heal the wounds inflicted by their sheer callousness, then so be it. But I don’t really accept the argument that anyone is “irredeemable” without even trying.

      Of course we should try, that why I said it feels like capitalists can’t be rehabilitated, not that they definitely cannot be rehabilitated and we shouldn’t even try.

      Yes I’m definitely biased to predict that almost all of the capitalists wouldn’t succeed in even attempting to rehabilitate themselves, but I’m absolutely not willing to close the door for rehabilitation either.
