    The police abolition is an interesting one. Do they think there would be zero crime in this fantasy land of theirs?

      Possibility 1: They’re idiots who think that ALL crime comes from capitalist material conditions

      Possibility 2: They want to return to the pre-police system where military forces simply shoot people who are being unruly and influential locals decide who is or is not investigated for crimes

      Possibility 3: They want to return to the pre-state system where the tribe communally gets together and beats anyone to death who blasphemes against the Holy Scriptures (in this case, of Lenin, Stalin, and Mao)

      “abolish the police” always has been such a dumb and empty slogan.

      Yes, yes, police in the us needs an enormous overhaul that will likely take decade, if (and whenever) implemented.

      But just dumping, abolishing it? How stupid are you?
