    Some tankies claim that Sovjet, GDR, or Chinese police are/were based and still shout “ACAB”, because they just dislike liberal capitalism police.

    They should be reminded of the first “A”.

      In authoritarian structures, the facts are dictated by the authority, not reality. When the authority and reality come into conflict, and you choose to side with reality, you are at danger of bodily harm or death.

      Many people consider life and death to be more important than what letters and words mean, so I would imagine your proposal is simply impossible at any large scale, in any place where the people more inclined towards uprisings have already been killed.
