There needs to be a reason. Punishment is only punishment, it doesn't deter anything or create empathy out of nothingness.
If you tell me that the prisonner saw a girl talking to his dad on the prison phone booth while his daughter refuses to speak to her and he is punished to death.. then yes. HERE is a chance for him to start doing an introspection.
But a punishment is like a spank on a kid's face. (don't do that). If you don't show a way to do things better or to remove the need for the bad aciton to happen, the kid will make the bad action again and thus will not understand the punishment EVEN if deep down, they know it's was not a good action.
Understanding that an action is bad and preventing one self to do an action are two very different things. Most rapist know that rape is bad but they do it anyway. This is why they must aquire a BIGGER understanding of their action and have the tools to make a big introspection.
If you push an introspection on someone too hard, it risk to destroy them and if you threaten to death someone. You will - at best - end up with someone who wanted to change, but didn't have the tools to do it.
----------
This is not change.
This is a choice.
Choices, as I explained many times, are the results of a long change, not change itself. They are the last brick to transform a person. This can only happen if the person was transformed over time by the material conditions of their existence.

Tell me.
Did communism as it was applied negated the system of meritocracy or negated ableism or enabled non productive members of society to be fully accepted or push for a real and anti racist systemic transformation or even tried to get it of patriarchy as a system of domination ?
No it's not different. Choices are the prolongation of your mindset, not change. Although they can trigger a form of change later.

No. i'm saying that choices are only the last form of a transformation. When that person made that choice, they already changed which allowed them to make the choice in the first place.
This is the entire point behind character arcs in stories. And the reason why stories work is because they reflect life.

Punishment can have an impact for kids or minor things. I'm saying that this could be done without punishment.
I'm advocating for a pacific society. There can be no pacifism if there is violence to make people change.
Violence could be necessary to counter systemic violence. But not to create peace.

You told me in the past that the USSR wasn't communist, it seems you have made progress.
You should try. Learning I mean. It can help you broaden your mind.

It wasn't communism, cause they didn't have a fairy tail society. If they did, that would be communism.
I know I’ve seen it a lot in regards to Islamic terrorists
“those guys weren’t real Muslims”
Well they might not be representative of the average Muslim or Islamic teachings, but they were surely Muslims.
