we're switching to (optional i'm pretty sure?) monthly dues
we have a sexual harassment policy
we're pulling out of SI
a blend of praxis and momentum got elected to the NPCs (also a union organizer that did work with cops, which is the meltdown du jour)

I am not a fan of Austin so this whole thing being their fault makes me smile quite a bit. I'm sure it'll work itself out.

well you know the entire uk welfare state was built while slaughtering malayans by the truckload, so it's not exactly inconceivable to think that americans might carry on murdering brown people abroad while making some small concessions to the working class at home

oooh so those are the malays of late capitalism everyone's always talking about. i guess they were pretty influential?

Austin is the ouroboros of Texas, with its head forever cursed into its own anus. There are some kickass institutions and people down there, but the sum of its parts is toxic and bad. They play a mean game of holier than thou despite being just as bad as the other major cities.

Anywho, I was interested when I heard about the Palestine chants, but I've gone full galactic brain over this cop issue. It's kinda hilarious.

I get the impression that a lot of the DSA are very new at this; their Austin branch sounds like it was founded like a few months ago.

Maybe, but not police as they exist now. It should be pointed out that the modern police force is a relatively recent invention, one that came about at around the same time that industrial capitalism was just kicking off. What was their purpose? Well, before police forces were properly formalised in the US, the role they were to grow into was typically served by detective agencies like the Pinkertons, who, at the behest of various robber barons became infamous for breaking strikes and infiltrating labour organisations.

Whether modern police are a recent invention depends on how narrowly you're defining them. Cities have always had guards, constables peacekeepers and other forms of law enforcement throughout human history. Also the first ever modern police state was the Tokugawa Shogunate, which wasn't even capitalist, much less industrialized capitalist.
