Only Anarchism believes in abolition of the Police

13 Aug '22

Only Anarchism believes in abolition of the Police, and this is the most hotly-disputed argument of Anarchism. Yet the police force as we know it is a comparatively modern phenomenon, fiercely resisted when introduced for reasons which have since been proved up to the hilt, such as the ability of the Police to introduce or bolster up a dictatorship, known indeed as a police state. Most political reformers have some part of the unfree system they wish to abolish Republicans would abolish the monarchy, Secularists would abolish or disestablish the Church, Socialists would (or used to) wish to abolish the apparatus of exploitation; pacifists would abolish the Army. Anarchism is unique in wishing to abolish all.

TheBlueMatt ·Aug 8 3/ The "narrative wars" are coming, arguably are already here. With ETH (finally) moving to PoS, people who've only heard about how "PoS won't work" from Bitcoiners will have even less reason to care about what Bitcoiners have to say. <<< Reposts meh

So its great to see this Big-Dog-fellator suffer at the hands of his dogshit brother >>> When the subject of Dr. Wright’s lawsuit against him comes up, McCormack often complains about the financial burden it has placed him under. In June 2021, he complained that the suit had caused him to get into a debt of £500,000 to his lawyers and that he’d had to sign his house over as a result: <<< https://coingeek.com/court-orders-peter-mccormack-to-provide-details-of-fin…

One of the women interviewed by Melzer later sharply criticised him and demanded his resignation. She said that by defining how a “proper rape-victim” would have to act, Melzer was engaging in victim blaming and that his report was partially “untrue and defamatory” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nils_Melzer VERSO Books for state terrorism https://socialistworker.co.uk/socialist-review-archive/slavo-zizek-presents…

" Authoritarians who perpetrate human rights violations should be repelled by any and all means necessary "

Something several cypherpunks have already been jailed for. SEAR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_market " . . . In the final part of his essay, Bell posits a market that is largely non-anonymous. He contrasts this version with the one previously described. Carl Johnson's attempt to popularise the concept of assassination politics appeared to rely on the earlier version.[6] There followed an attempt to popularise the second in 2001 that is ongoing today .. ." And hows that going, I hear youse snark? Well, since 2010 I have been calling on the USG to surrender to the anarchic internet ( represented by me for the time being ) They were supposed to show this by releasing all Drug War prisoners and bringing back the PAM FutureMaps markets that were to handle the rest of their abject surrender - then - since Donald Dumbfucks reign of error - I added a further condition that they specifically mention ' APster " as a reason for doing the other two things. My patience is not endless. As you all know - since 2010 cryptoanarchy has gotten much stronger and they have gotten much weaker. On the hot-button issue of alleged left-anarchist ' violence ' I merely note the wisdom of Oliver Tambo . . . " Its those who make peaceful change impossible who make violent revolution inevitable " Welcome to the revolution.
