I hate Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.

But honestly, I feel a more base, emotionally driving hatred towards the more immediate capitalists in my life. I hate my landlord, I hate my district manager, I hate my uncle who makes 250k a year sending emails. These are more the people I want to rip out of their homes kicking and screaming to the guillotines.

Pretty much every successful communist revolution didn’t direct their fury towards just the richest of the richest, they recognized there were people down the hierarchy who were still exploiters who deserved the wrath of the proletariat. Calling for the liquidation of American Kulaks would do more for socialism in America than trying to get people to strike against Bezos.

    i think this is a uncharitable interpretation of what i said. armed police don’t need to disarm. the police force doesn’t need to be demobilized. they would be formally declared no-longer-responsible for protecting landlordism, potentially with something as simple as a ban on evictions, but possibly a more explicit right to shelter-in-place.

    I think that depends on which police you’re talking about.

    US police, which are armed with surplus military hardware and are reliable reactionaries, absolutely do need to be disarmed.
