      I don’t think that justice works that way in an Anarchist System. It would rather work in a transformativ way. So it is looked how the damage is reduced for everyone while at the same time the victim as well as the abuser get protected so no lynching. I have heard that the trials of the Zapatista (“only” libertarian socialist) is espacally fair and therefore also used by outsiders.

      Not sure about the second part but yup, your first part is trial by jury without jury duty itself hanging over your head.

      Wouldn’t that be amazing, instead of some judge sending you away for 30 years for having some weed you could be freed by commonsense people rather than corrupt judges.

        It’s one of those double edged swords though. You could also be lynched for that same weed by a different group.

          Right, so no different from our current system except that our peers are going to be a much broader representation of society rather than a millionaire law school attending judge, who’s pals with the cops and probably a member of some right wing group or ideology.

          I’ll take my chances with the people over the injustice system.
