i think eye for an eye is specifically lib. I don't see any issue to take some chemical spills shareholders on special diet from local produce of said spill. If they live - great. if they don't -
That thing about whole world going blind implies same "every person bad" calvinist individualist heuristic. Not many people actually do crimes of bodily harm. Lots of people do crimes of "not my problem"
But usually when people talk about revenge its about some robbery of local homeowner, shooting police or whatever latest conservative/foreign policy brainworm. So depends on context who you are talking with, is it group revenge? is it out of proportion? yes? then get fucked
eye for an eye is not about everyone deserving to be blinded because they're sinners it's that most people don't agree when someone deserves to be blinded, and think they'd be justified to retaliate
I read it as "if everyone squared their grievances we all be dead", and i don't think there are that many grievances to go around. And thinking that without law people will just go blinding each other in retaliations is that innate sinner mentality
blood feuds are real, recorded events? communal retributive violence is a social problem that yeah, bourgeois/feudal monopolies on violence don't do the best job of addressing, but any socialist organization won't tolerate it either
