Not a fan of the death penalty, but this is one way to do it.
You get two years to not fuck up, and if you manage that it gets reduces to a life sentence or some other fixed sentence

I'm not really a fan of the death penalty for normal human crimes, but I kinda don't mind it for bourgeois crimes.

Is that how it works in cases where theyre given a reprieve? Within whatever time frame they set, if ine doesnt fuck off, they just commute it to a life of breaking rocks or whatever? Or in two years they still give him the business anyway, and this time is to reflect on the enormity of his fuckup?

When westerners try to bring up social credit scores, this is what they're fearmongering about. They're afraid of wealthy parasites facing even an ounce of consequences.

the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

I'm not for the death penalty, but if we're gonna have it, this is what it should be used for
-
Good news, the actual sentence in reality is life in prison. This ruling nearly always is commuted to life in prison

This reminds me a lot of that Naomi Wolf "Death Recorded" thing from a few years back
EDIT: For context, Naomi Wolf wrote a book that contained a passage about Br*tan executing queer men in the 18th, 19th century but when she discussed it with a radio show the host pointed out that most of the instances she noted were people whose sentences were "Death Recorded" meaning they were sentenced to death in accordance of the law, but it was commuted/reprieved. Naomi Wolf was entirely unaware of this fact.

God I wish we did this kind of thing in the West

Two year reprieve meaning in two years they still stretch his neck or give him the Ol Yeller treatment or whatever?
Thats a long time to think about whats coming, frankly. If theyre going to end his life just fucking do it already. My dislike of the death penalty is tempered a hair by the fact that this jackwagon is of the bourgeois class but two years just seems like a needless holiday. Either do it or dont.

They give him 2 years to not fuck up.
If he does 💀
If he doesn't, it gets commuted to life or some other sentence.

More like a suspended sentence, where he gets two years to prove he's not doing any more crimes or he gets the chop. Still comes with a life sentence at the end of the suspension instead of it being considered served though.

In addition to what the other guys said, it's a common practice for death row inmates in the US to sit in prison for years, and sometimes decades, before they get put down. The reasoning to my understanding is that you can't exonerate a dead man. They give plenty of time for appeals and additional evidence as a due course of justice for a fair trail as preserved by the 6th ammendment.

2008 was caused by bankers doing extremely illegal shit. How many people were imprisoned for it?
They could do it. But they don't want to. The difference here is that in the west the financial elite are the ruling class and the proletariat are under the boot. In China the proletariat are the ruling class and the bourgeoisie are under the boot.

It's true that since the market reforms, the party has willingly looked the other way when it comes to corruption (black cat, white cat). It's pretty cynical to say that Xi's anti-corruption campaign is only about staying in power though, but it was certainly a strategy that won him a lot of support among intra-party factions because it allowed them to oust blatant offenders of rival cliques.

It's always funny to me how western media tries to frame this as a bad thing.
"Not even their elites are safe from their government!" Oh no, how terrible that they face consequences for their actions like the rest of us
That was one of the weirdest parts of a really awful interview Zizek did, "The most dangerous place to be was on top" under Stalin and that this was worse than what the Nazis did.
lmao the higher ups have more power, therefore more responsibility and culpability for wrongdoing, therefore they are more severely punished. What a fucking mystery that the people who did the most wrong had the most power?
What a fucking astute observation by brain genius Zizek
the nazis of course famously dangerous to be on the bottom
I struggle to even say Zizek is a misguided socialist. He's a cranky without useful analysis. The only two things he's done well are his ramblings on consuming anticapitalist media and making Jordan Peterson look dumb.
