  • Never said or implied that those in power wouldn’t use violence to achieve their goals.

    My point was the group in power will always oppose the use of force by those they oppress while using violence to oppress them.

    As long as one side uses violence (physical, economic, political, etc.) All other sides have to be ready, willing, and able to respond in kind. No one is special. We are all equal.

    The trick those with a monopoly on violence use is disguising their violent acts and then getting those they abuse to shame others into submission.

    If there was a socialist anarchist revolution I think “Fred” as you call him would keep his guard up and fight like he did up to the point the establishment killed him. I think he understood that just because the people next to you are headed in the same direction doesn’t mean you have the same destination.






  • Watch The Murder of Fred Hampton, and tell me how it’s not currently being done by those in power.

    I love your naivety where you think that just because they don’t kill you or your loved ones, because you’re (likely) part of the accepted group, it’s ok to ignore the fact that they kill all the people you don’t care to think about.

    (I have no idea who you are. I just think the counter point to your point is equally valid and deserves consideration)



  • I don’t think you can think of it as some sort of logical plan. It’s a bug, not a feature, of capitalism. What you are describing is the inevitable end of a completely free market with no regulation. The strong (economically) keep taking from the weak until we have the situation you are describing. From there the next step is dependent upon whether the weak form a cohesive identity and seize power (revolution) or stay fractured around smaller identity cleavages (race, religion, gender, etc) and are subjugated.


  • Per the CDC

    “January 20, 2020

    CDC reports the first laboratory-confirmed case of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus in the U.S. from samples taken on January 18 in Washington state and on the same day activates its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to respond to the emerging outbreak.“

    I guess the first time around the world was just as surprised that there were enough morons to elect him. This time the world was more on the ball.
