    You raise a good point. My gut reaction is to bring up they the function of police is to protect the bourgeois class rather than the proletariat, rather then functioning to lift up workers. I think my visceral, tangible hatred for cops is tainting my view here.

      I wouldn’t say your view is tainted, just that you’re saying the correct thing, but in a way that might confuse people not familiar with our ideology. I’m just putting myself in the shoes of someone who doesn’t understand socialism yet. In a way you’re absolutely right. Cop unions aren’t unions in the same sense that national socialists aren’t socialists and urinal cakes aren’t cakes.
