No. A thought crime cannot be constituted without _the state power_.
An intellectual crime is a problem to be identified & criticized
_amongst intellectuals_ (be they organic or traditional), which is to
say, _all human beings_. Punishment for the former is _prison_;
punishment for the latter consists of being consigned to _the dustbin
of history_, becoming _an intellectual museum piece_, so to speak.
