Commentary #8: A Discussion of Abolitionist Principles

Posted by Gary L. Francione in Blog, Podcast

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

In this Commentary, I explain why welfare reform and violence cannot fit into the abolitionist approach.
