Any communist who does not hate the police, hate them as much as or more than the bourgeoisie itself is not to be trusted. The pig in uniform is not merely a servant of capital; he is a traitor to his own class. The capitalist exploits you openly, extracts your surplus value, for profit. The cop, by contrast, is a class collaborator who has traded the collective self‑interest of the working class for the individual power of a badge. He is the armed wing of the bourgeois order, the thug who enforces contracts, breaks strikes, and puts a bullet in the back of any worker who dares to resist. They are the slave catchers that put the bodies that exist outside of wage labor behind the walls of slavery.
This makes the cop more disgusting than the boss. The boss at least performs a material function, the organization of production, however exploitative. The cop performs a purely repressive function. He adds no value. He creates no wealth. He exists solely to protect the property relations that the bourgeoisie has stolen. He is the parasite on the parasite.
The FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the entire alphabet of federal law enforcement are not mere obstacles to liberation. They are the central nervous system of the counter‑insurgency apparatus that has been built to suppress the American working class from inception. The FBI's COINTELPRO program did not just spy on the Black Panthers; it murdered them, framed them, and destroyed their families. The FBI's anti communist division is very likely tied to the CIA. The DHS did not just deport immigrants in history; it built and continues to build a surveillance architecture that tracks every phone call, every text message, every credit card swipe of every American who has ever uttered a word against the state. These are domestic occupation forces, deployed against the very people they pretend to serve.
The cop on the corner is not a public servant. He is a soldier in a low‑intensity war against the poor, the Black, the brown, the immigrant, the leftist, the mentally ill, the homeless. He is trained to see the working class as the enemy. His job is to manage the "disorder" that capitalism inevitably produces, the hunger, the addiction, the rage, the desperation. And when he cannot manage it, he kills it.
So no, we do not "reform" the police. We do not "defund" them in the liberal sense. We abolish them. Fuck every cop, and every leftist that doesn't get down with this i
