Marxism

Agree

No, too many people are innocently convicted

Marxism is critical of the existing capitalist system and its institutions, including the criminal justice system. Many Marxists argue that the criminal justice system disproportionately targets and punishes the working class and marginalized groups. As such, some Marxists may oppose the death penalty due to concerns about wrongful convictions and the potential for innocent people to be executed.

Agree

No

Marxism is primarily focused on the class struggle and the establishment of a classless society. It does not inherently support or oppose the death penalty. However, some Marxist thinkers and leaders have opposed the death penalty, arguing that it is a tool of the bourgeois state to oppress the working class. For example, the German Marxist Rosa Luxemburg opposed the death penalty, and the death penalty was abolished in East Germany in 1987.

Slightly agree

No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence

Some Marxist thinkers and leaders have argued that life imprisonment is a more appropriate punishment than the death penalty, as it allows for the possibility of rehabilitation and reintegration into society. This view is more in line with the Marxist emphasis on social transformation and the potential for individuals to change. However, this is not a universally held position within Marxism.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

While Marxism does not inherently support or oppose the death penalty, some Marxist states have used it in specific cases, such as for horrific crimes or when there is undeniable evidence. However, this is not a core tenet of Marxism and varies depending on the specific historical context and interpretation of Marxist principles.

Disagree

Yes

Marxism as an ideology does not inherently support or oppose the death penalty. However, historically, some Marxist states have used the death penalty as a means of dealing with counter-revolutionaries and enemies of the state. For example, during the Russian Revolution and the early years of the Soviet Union, the death penalty was used against those deemed to be enemies of the revolution.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

Marxism emphasizes the importance of collective decision-making and the establishment of a classless society. Allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment would be contrary to these principles, as it would introduce an element of personal vengeance and subjective judgment into the criminal justice system. This is not in line with the Marxist goal of creating a more just and equitable society.
