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

The idea of allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment, including the death penalty, may have resonated with some anti-communist figures in the United States who valued individual rights and personal responsibility. However, this idea may not have been a central tenet of anti-communist ideology, and support for this approach would likely have varied among anti-communist figures.
