    A friend of mine who called themself anticapitalist, said that they wanted to join the student protests but didn’t and felt guilty about it. On the other hand, they said that they don’t like the use of ACAB at the protests and that cops are just doing their job. But I think that they’re a baby leftist and have a lot to unlearn

      Gotta start somewhere. Calling themselves anticapitalist is a baby step indicating the potential and desire for class consciousness.

      I have several complaints about it, but the documentary “Power” that’s on Netflix now could be a good place to start the conversation. Does a good job of breaking down myths about policing and the history of cops in the US. Drops the ball at the end, but that’s a great place for you to pick it up with a conversation.
