Chinese Communist Party-run media outlets are making the case to “abolish policing” in the United States, capitalizing on the far-left’s new and radical, Marxist talking points.
The American left has been all-too-willing, like during the Cold War, to promote the goals of a foreign and hostile power. This time, it’s the Chinese Communist Party.
The April 30th op-ed – “Police violence won’t end until we commit to public safety” – also relies on a popular left-wing argument for ditching the institution: the practice developed from slave patrols and is, therefore, inherently racist.
“Not until policing is seen for what it is, a tool to maintain an unequal social order and not an institution sworn and committed to public safety, can we begin to get solutions that move us in the direction of justice,” the op-ed in China Global Television Network (CGTN) posits.
Penned by Ray Baker, an Adjunct Professor at Towson University, the piece conflates police officers to slave patrols, both of which “fulfilled dual capitalist aims.” Baker continues, infusing the “slave patrol” narrative with a Marxist focus on “worker solidarity”:
It’s important to remember the origins of modern United States policing. Many American observers make the connection between police and slave patrols. What’s sometimes missing in this observation is the function of slave patrol as a labor and social hierarchy question. Those who claimed humans as property were incentivized to ensure those humans would not flee. This created a job for overseeing and policing enslaved workers. Who better to fill that job than white workers who couldn’t sell their labor for fair wages because enslaved labor depressed wages. This creates a labor force of workers whose job it is to ensure enslaved workers produce at unprecedented levels and never take flight. Perfect for oligarchs committed to fracturing any potential of worker solidarity.
“To demand accountability and justice from policing would be to abolish policing as we know it,” the CTGN article ultimately concludes.
Another example of the Chinese Communist Party’s attempts to inflame racial tensions in the U.S., the piece cautions that “the lesson to white Americans must be that your whiteness will not save you” before detailing society’s “pervasive anti-Blackness”:
Black Americans being disproportionately the victims of police violence is reflective of the continued belief that Black Americans are others, behaving outside the norm of the social order. This pervasive anti-Blackness in law enforcement is sustained regardless of the race or ethnicity of the officers. This is because officers of all ethnic, gender and religious backgrounds are dedicated to maintaining social order. The violence against Black Americans that comes from maintaining social order is par for the course.
Anti-Western influence operations are on the rise, from China
Well, yeah. The Red guard work for free.
It’s pretty clear Chinese hands are involved in ANTIFA and organizing these riots. The name of the game is maximum chaos, or as Suvorov would put it, “Grey terror” in the lead up to war.
I guess we should listen since there are so many black people and so few police in China.
This world has gone insane.
Copy has been involved with blm too
Is “copy” autocorrect of CCP?
And yet, all refuse to see how it was the Democrats who held the slaves.
Demonrats and nutless republicans are letting the CCP run elections and the government.
the commies posted a long time ago their manifesto
perhaps we didnt expect the chinese to be actively involved in fulfilling it as opposed to the russians and european socialists, but here we are
They want to Nationalize the Police force so it is easier for corruption to thrive.

But Xibiden and Cameltoe and our newly "woke" military may just surrender to them.
They are winning the "Unrestricted War" at the moment.
We are headed to national police, local private pay police and simply vigilante “justice” which is a form of policing.
One of the world Marxist movements has always been to neutralize/destroy the “police” who protect the “bourgeois”. Read Marx, Lenin, Stalin and Mao.
Cuba provided a perfect example of this, 90 miles from our shore. The first thing the Reds did when they drove Batista out of power and off the island, was to seize the government main radio/tv station and start their anti-police, anti-soldiers destruction campaign.
Then Castro’s own KGB, soon named the DGI, went into action and helped capture, torture and execute over 16,000 Cubans of all types, most just plain citizens who opposed communism.
The Communist Party USA (CPUSA) has been running front groups who have been targeting the police, FBI, and all intelligence organizations since the 1920’s, but esp. during the 40s-50’s, then again in the late 60’s thru the present.
Some of these organizations included cited CP fronts such as the National Lawyers Guild (today a mix of Marxists of all types), its’ creation the Center for Constitutional Studies, the straight CP front, the National Emergency Civil Liberties Union, then COMMITTEE, the Committee for Public Justice, the mixed reds/leftist National Center for Security Studies (Morton Halperin and leftist ex-intel agents - including McGovern, Michaels, Tully, etc); The Campaign to Stop Government Spying/Campaign for Political Rights; the Organizing Committee for the 5th Estate/Counterspy magazine; Philip Agee’s “Covert Action Information Bulletin” and “Covert Action” organization; and the NLG’s “Campaign to Abolish the Grand Jury System”, among others, including the Trotskyite “Socialist Workers Party” front, the “Political Rights Defense Fund”.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has had, over time, many anti-FBI/CIA/Intell agencies campaigns, often led by identified CPUSA covert operative, Frank Donner, and Frank Wilkinson.
Today, there are many more groups including the Marxist/Cuba-affiliated National Conference of Black Lawyers, an affiliate of the Soviet front, the International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL).
I think you get the idea of how pervasive and extensive is the decades long campaign to destroy our law enforcement/intelligence organization.

They will be the rat police when asked for help by the rats
What? This is such a surprise! A country that sees the US as an existential treat and wants to destroy it, is discovered trying to destroy it. The outrage!
