No, too many people are innocently convicted

Trotskyism, as a Marxist ideology, is concerned with the injustices of the bourgeois legal system, including the potential for innocent people to be wrongly convicted. This concern would make Trotskyists more likely to oppose the death penalty due to the risk of executing innocent individuals.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

Trotskyism seeks to establish a more just and equal society, and allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment would be contrary to this goal. Trotskyists would likely view this approach as arbitrary and potentially leading to further injustices, rather than promoting a fair and consistent legal system.
