Okay, that makes sense, I didn't realize that's what it was supposed to be. I don't necessarily agree with it though, I fully recognize there's a difference between getting disappeared by the NKVD for criticizing Beria and getting disappeared by Amazon death squads for making fun of Bezos for being bald.

Amazon using death squads isn’t somehow “right libertarianism” just because a corporation is doing it

You start out in 1947 by saying, “socialist, socialist, socialist.” By 2016 you can’t say “socialist”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, authoritarianism, human rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about opposing sending tanks into Hungary to crush resistance to Soviet communism in 1968, and all these things you’re talking about are totally theoretical things and a byproduct of them is, socialists get hurt worse than other leftists.… “We oppose tankies this,” is much more abstract than even the human rights thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “socialist, socialist.”

even if we were to generously assume that all the people doing a Cool Zone or a CHAZ or w/e were committed anarchists, that only really highlights just how useless anarchism really is outside of holding up an agreeable liberal humanist philosophy (which is also pretty useless but at least sounds nice).

if you say “all cops are bastards” and actually believe it, rather than thinking it’s hyperbole or just a fun catchphrase, you’ve incorporated anarchism into your ideology

if you think all cops are bastards but once a state says it’s communist then cops are good actually, that’s loving stupid

police are merely a tool of class oppression, and like the state itself they have no inherent peculiarity that makes them "bad". a "community defense squad" or w/e that enforces and protects against the bourgeois, even if they were to wear a badge and carry a gun, is still abolitionist in nature. replacing every cop with an unarmed social worker and investing in the welfare state is not.

i'm finding this quite easy, i guess in part because i'm a fast type but also because i have a coherent mental model of the world
cops are a particular form of state technology that only developed a couple centuries back. class society was a dictatorship of one class over another before penitentiaries and police officers were normalized and will remain one even if, specifically, uniformed policemen and punishment cages are phased out, until and unless classes themselves dissolve

i think its ultimately just a matter of aesthetics to them, once again proving the op correct. in a DotB, the capitalists already get to enjoy what people mean when they talk of abolition. they are protected, they are served. even when they do cross "the law" they get all the sympathy, chances, treatment, etc that one would hope for from a compassionate society that looks after one another.

as fun as it would be to join a mob and beat the poo poo out of someone for landlordism or corruption, something more disciplined and accountable would be preferable.

the idea that what is being enforced now is not the people's will (but rather the machinations of an evil bureaucracy that has somehow tricked everyone into playing along with its dictates) is a comforting story people tell themselves because the alternative is scarier and harder to deal with
