Abolishing the Police

You mean anywhere in the world? Nothing I said is american exceptionalism. Ask yourself this: why is it so damn important to be able to disperse a crowd that every cop department around the whole world specializes in it? Why is it so damn important to keep the roads open? What is so damn precious that keep a standing occupation force on the payroll? Hint: it’s not only to save their own useless carcasses, and it’s not to hand out tickets.

Every time police escort scabs or materials or product across a picket line a strike is being violently suppressed. The reason they need to be able to disperse civil society is to break picket lines. The reason for extraction teams are to suppress sit down strikes. The reason to keep the roads open is to keep the profit extraction happening.

Without the ability to secure the means of production, and the transportation infrastructure, their whole system crumbles. Everything else follows from this fact.
