I think the best leftist approach to crime is “the best way to reduce crime is to reduce poverty.” This covers a lot of the same ground as the OP, but does a better job of setting you up to have a more productive discussion.
Ya know how Red Son got flubbed? How about a reboot of batman who’s really into harm reduction and gets the ire of other wealthmen (irl supervillains) because he injects all of his money into welfare and gets lambasted as an evil socialist through MSM to the people he’s trying to help. So he learns from his comrade, Ra’s Al-Ghul how to assassinate capitalists.
Instead of a rich guy who spends all his money on building a suit of armor to disfigure the poor.
That’s kinda what Bruce Wayne does at this point (minus killing anyone), unless the writer for a batman story has a hard on for Mark Millar batman stories, especially Dark Knight Returns.
The whole “SJW” thing is such a projection when the reasons for most of the detractors to this statement boil down to “but muh justice” or “But I’ll FEEL better if we locked everyone up!”
How much more are we losing on as a society because the ruling class marketed cruelty as catharsis?
