Oh no, they've discovered a foolproof rhetorical trick! If they call themselves abolitionists they can connect it to the abolition of slavery, and since both prisons and slavery predominately target blacks, involve chains, and there's forced labour at some point along the line the meme when combined with the older "prison-industrial complex" idea is insanely powerful. It can also justify their violence, because John Brown is still a national hero (to lefties) immortalized in the tune of "Glory, Glory Hallelujah!" even though his plan was completely retarded. There's even the angle that modern psychology and other technological advances has made actually punishing criminals obsolete being advanced by the likes of the DSA, in the same way that the industrial revolution made chattel slavery inferior to 'wage slavery". And just like the slaveholders, the right wing pro-prison faction can be found waving the Rebel flag.TL;DR. they advocate brainwashing
