What would an Oppressive state look like?
Who would do the Oppressing?
Wouldn't it be...the Police?
Isn't that what we were told was evil about the Soviet Union...the pervasive police state?
If the KGB wasn't a police force, what was it?
The police ARE the visible, physical manifestation of the State. So it's natural for "revolutionaries" to oppose them - but the reality is that they supposedly don't make the rules - the politicians behind them do!
Genius Boy here is advocating a war against what he perceives to be a "capitalist State". Since he's just parroting crap that Russians wrote 100 years ago, he has no idea what it all means.
But the front line of "oppression" is the police, at least in the U.S. since the passage of Posse Comitatus.
So is the State behind the police Oppressive? Are their actions reflective of a tyrannical, dictatorial state, accountable to no one?
Lotta people here might say so but for different reasons then this guy who just repeats crap other people wrote.
If so, we have a right to change this State. Says so in our Declaration.
The Black people are basically saying at this point in history that they don't want to be part of this state.
I agree with them. I think Integration has been a failure. There's a few high points, but it's just not working. They have the Presidency, the Attorney General, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security....and they are dismantling Federal law enforcement as we know it.
But it's not enough. Apparently, until Angry Black Men can shoot police at will for any perceived slight, it's not enough.
Put it another way: they don't want to live under White Men's Laws. ANY law enforcement on them they see as illegitimate.
IOW: they are not part of the Nation, and nothing they are given - political office, extra privileges under law - will suffice. It's not their world.
So to them, it's "oppressive", and they want something different.
Well, I agree now. Time for a divorce. The only question is, who gets to live where? Do we have a two state solution - they live among us, but are not governed by our laws? Or vice versa?
Do we go back to legal segregation? Or take it a step further and say only Black people can make laws for Black people?
That's where this is going. The 14th Amendment is wonderful Egalitarianism, but...it doesn't work in practice.
Maybe too much history between two peoples.
And we are letting in historical enemies - the Mexican nation - and assuming that somehow, that's all gonna work out too - they will go along with living under laws they consider Somebody Else's.
Ain't nevah worked in human history. Ain't gonna work now without....a Police State.
They can't distribute MRAPs fast enough to hold this back.
I can find nothing to disagree with in what you wrote.
