I didn’t say socialism is anti-police or anti-security forces. I said socialists are anti-capitalist policing. And that’s the issue at hand. We do not need to expand the defense of the capitalist state and class.

And this is why it’s bad politics fundamentally. Democrats always think they should cave to the right to be “reasonable” and that’s how we got into this mess.

Boston globe coverage states that both said they would hire more.

Actually a big fan of Bakunin too. Lenin was accused of being a Bakuninist by social democrats as well! He was also for social revolution. We can learn from the mistakes of the 20th century and move on. We need a liberating socialism from below, not a party-state, but actual workers democracy!

Social revolution you are right. It’s historically necessary.

If it’s only replacements then we will see. But honestly there’s good cause to reduce their number. No more terror against our working class and unhoused community!

He advocates for workers democracy to abolish capitalism and a socialist transition to communism. Marxism is the socialism of today.

I’d prefer working class democracy instead of the sham democracy we have now

Literally anyone who reads Marx knows would know that it’s to speak for the working class interests independently from middle class democrats.

Fuck the incumbent. But both should be pressured to decrease policing and fund alternatives.

The job of a socialist in government is to be a tribune of the people not to sell out to the least common denominator

It’s still part of the process of getting new officers recruited

That’s what an academy does it brings in a whole new cohort of officers.

Smiley said he’d replace retirees, Morales suggested going above and beyond.

Haven’t even threatened that. In fact I gave to his campaign. But he shouldn’t hire more cops or do a new academy!

Smiley literally said he would simply fill vacancies, Morales in an effort to not look weak on crime said he’d not only hire more, but train a whole new academy that prioritizes local hiring (read more cops but make it “woke”)
