Every month or so we are reminded the American policing
institution is in opposition to the well-being of working class black
people. We are reminded not by the virtue of self-accountability of the
appropriating policing institution but by social media vigilantism. I
don’t mean to go into detail about the murder of George Floyd for we are
all well acquainted with the damning video making its rounds on social
media. Instead I intend only to help understand, justify and call on
others to involve themselves in the organised violence.
The US and by similar extensions the UK policing institution is
racist not by fault, but design. It is well documented through all
epochs of history that policing in its modern form relates back to the
armed body of men that would seek to secure the prevailing mode of
political economy. From mercantile watchmen of early capitalism, to the
royal guards that would accompany the feudal taxmen. Modern policing is
but a continuation of this armed body of men that seek to preserve the
prevailing organisation of the means of production. It is no illusion
that the US policing institution is racist by design, when the modern
organisation of the United States means of production is characterised
on the virtue of the slave trade, colonialism and the concentration of
wealth to a handful of rich white men, the systematic oppression of
working black people is an essential feature in securing political
economy.
Liberals who pander to identity politics would like you to
perceive this injustice as a solely racist phenomenon, but they are
wrong and this belief only hides the true nature of the US policing
institution. Police do not just target black people, they target any
force that has the ability to disrupt the existing political economy,
extending to all working people. Black working communities are just
feared more so due to a mix of existing colonial and slave ideology and
the systematic use of black working communities as breeding grounds for
private prison labour. Race is nothing but a ideological social
superstructure of colonialism developed as a means to disorganise the
true forces of revolutionary action: an organised working class.
If we seek to change the current state of police violence we
have to directly seek to change the economic base that mandates us
working people of all communities as a threat. It is therefore, in the
interest of working people to engage in organised class conflict and
seek to destabilise this current unjust mode of political economy until
they are forced to show their true intentions and bring upon us an epoch
of class consciousness and revolutionary action.
How can you involve yourself in revolutionary action?
Agitate big businesses, direct your antagonisms towards their
property. Often large enterprise that operate domestically are closely
affiliated with those who fund, maintain and lobby the current
conditions that maintain the policing institution operates as it
currently does.
Agitate the policing network, remove the ideological shroud that
the police exist to serve our interest expose their information
networks, record their reactions to class struggle, remove their
presence from working neighbourhoods, vilify their supporters — they are
class traitors and have put themselves in opposition to moments of
historical justice.
Agitate the liberal democratic establishment, ask yourself are
your so called representatives doing enough to position themselves on
our side of this class conflict, or do they operate as a means to retain
order and offer minor concessions to quell your anger until the next
time an innocent black man is murdered in cold blood? If they are not
doing enough, protest, demonstrate and disrupt their political
surgeries.
All working people and their allies should position themselves
in solidarity and utmost support of the above demonstrations of class
conflict. utilise the productive forces of social media, join
demonstrators, support and offer refuge to those arrested and targeted
by police as a result of participating in this class conflict.
Organise, agitate and change society for the better.
“I do not think life will change for the better without an
assault on the establishment, which goes on exploiting the wretched of
the earth. This belief lies at the heart of the concept of revolutionary
suicide. Thus it is better to oppose the forces that would drive me to
self-murder than to endure them. Although I risk the likelihood of
death, there is at least the possibility, if not the probability, of
changing intolerable conditions.” — Dr Huey P Newton (1973),
Revolutionary suicide
