You characterized giving cops more power to do their jobs more effectively as a generally understood “marginal improvement” that “helps people”. That characterization only follows from a misunderstanding about the purpose of police under bourgeois dictatorship or a very specific view of who constitutes “people”. To be clear, there’s little to no revolutionary potential in narrow minority of the US population that the bourgeois criminal legal system exists to “help”.
This is the accelerationism debate: do you support marginal improvements because they help people, and that’s the end goal? Or oppose them because they strengthen the existing state? I don’t think you can build a mass movement around opposing what helps right now.
“Marginal improvements” that aim to more effectively maintain the instrument of bourgeois class rule are called “reformism”. Proletarian class politics don’t involve building a mass movement of settler cops around what helps other settler cops better enforce imperial property relations and racial hierarchy. Marxism is a doctrine of violent revolutionary class struggle. It is not a doctrine of peacefully ceding power to the bourgeois state and their front line enforcers in the hope that you’ll incite them to surrender control at some point in the future via the correct combination of campaign contributions, primary votes, and picket signs.
If you’re saying Larry Krasner is essentially Kamala Harris I don’t believe you’ve investigated either in much detail.
Liberals tell me that every day about Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, and to give them the smallest amount of credit, at least they’re technically correct that Trump didn’t share Harris and Krasner’s career in law enforcement.
Opposing ideas without investigating and ignoring real-world problems that get in the way of sweeping solutions are hallmarks of ultraleftism.
Recognizing the theoretical utility of empowering the investigative apparatus of a hypothetical proletarian state is a piss poor defense of empowering the actually existing settler colonial bourgeois state with tools to defend their class supremacy. I’m no scholar, but I’m pretty sure Mao’s point wasn’t that you should arm your class enemies to better fantasize about how cool it would be if those tools fell into your lap instead. Lenin is quite clear: “Today, in Britain and America, too, ‘the precondition for every real people’s revolution’ is the smashing, the destruction of the ‘ready-made state machinery’”
the guy at the top is at minimum doing actual harm reduction
yeah, and Joe Biden Kamala Harris is the most progressive president in history so who are you to shirk your duty to vote for him her to Save Democracy™? after all, “shut up and listen to the sensible policy solutions of qualified bourgeois experts” was famously Mao’s whole deal…
Um, actually Massive Mohammed is the name of the bell. The tower itself is called the Sharia Spire.
inside the little horse is a smaller horse called “white genocide”, and inside the smaller horse is a tiny horse called “females that won’t give me sex”
They got this shit locked for at least eight years
Lets not underestimate the Democrats unparalleled skill at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
I don’t see how this is a meaningfully different argument than saying it’s illegal to not buy things from “Israel”, and US courts seem to be fine with that
“why does the corpse smell so bad?”
