damn we missed our chance at political action for another 4 years, let’s go into cold storage until it’s time to vote against the worst candidate in favor of the slightly less bad candidate.
It’s not about working for a class, it’s about being part of that class.
Police, whether we like them or not, are also part of the working class. They are class traitors in that respect. They serve the ownership class and fight “their own.”
There are a class of people that own capital to make capital, and there are a class that labor to acquire capital.
The cops labor to acquire capital on behalf of the class that owns capital to make capital that does no labor.
Yes, ofc, the comment was intended as a joke - all dogs serve a master, won’t ever be masters, and are “betraying” wolves by not allowing then to get to the sheep (which they also can’t/arent allowed to get).
This is at it’s core the police problem. They are class traitors.
They’re not traitors … they never had any loyalty to the population to begin with
They were created to ‘maintain law and order’ … not some fanciful idea of protecting or serving people.
Police are working-class ergo they are class traitors.

Getting libs to develop class consciousness can feel like a Sisyphean task.
maybe we just need minor reforms and more capitalism
Real capitalism has never been tried!
hey guys! make sure everyone goes out and votes! nothing more important in a democracy than voting! 😁

How are they traitors if they never ever worked for that class in the first place (in USAs case)?
Edit: to clarify, it’s a joke in the sense that that was the core job description

Ahh that’s a “whoooosh” on me then lol
Blue collar working-class, I’d say. What class are they then? Not all goldfish living in a buble know they are goldfish living in a buble…
