I say this a lot but the thing the MLs deserve is to win in a like 15 mile strip of desert somewhere and then all get purged by a series of increasingly absurd show trials only for their ideological successors to justify their deaths 50 years

People get really confused about the class position of cops because they look at the salary and are like oh these are wage earners they must be part of the working class. But if you pull the analysis out a bit you see what vulgar Marxists miss:

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

the "wage" that cops make isn't really a wage at all. Most of what cops actually do is ticketing or fee collection, it's how they fund themselves. Their job is to take other people's money and put it back into the police force. The most infamous

variation of this is civil asset forfeiture, which is just them directly stealing shit from people. But that's also what their fees, tickets, and fines are. Economists euphemistically call this rent extraction but what's really going on here is

Sad to see Taeja retire again. Truly one of the all time greats of Starcraft 2. And I think Nazgul put it right when he said "It’s hard to point at a specific aspect of TaeJa’s game that made him so great as a player,

simply because he did everything well." I would argue that what made him great was that he was probably until the rise of TY the greatest player in Starcraft at understanding his opponents' style. But unlike TY, who used that knowledge to just

crush his opponents with specifically tailored strategies, Taeja would just like.............. Play his opponent's game and beat them at it. There's never been anything else like it. Maybe the best example of it was a 2013 set he played against

In all seriousness though I think placing the double freedom of the proletariat at the core of your explanation of the class structure is a huge theoretical mistake inherited from bourgeois political economy because a HUGE portion of the

I think people get really confused when leftists talk about how one of the primary roles of cops is the protect private property. Whenever you bring this up you get people talking about how cops don't do shit about thefts or don't always

There's a really weird thing that people who just discovered anti-imperialism believe where they think that American imperialism requires that the support of the American populous and that if people thought it was bad it would stop happening,

which is hilarious on a number of levels because like 1. extremely popular things like Medicare for All don't happen despite their popular support, that's just how bourgeois democracy works and 2. we literally have examples of the security state
