Every group belonging to the managerial class (both republicans and democrats) worked hard to make sure this experiment failed, just like they did during Occupy.There were calls for right-wing groups to come in and stop this before it spread. Many hostile people came to CHOP to try inciting violence to give the police an excuse to take it away. It looks like they won. They got what they needed.
Violence within CHOP is expected because CHOP had many violent and hostile enemies.
The irony here is that Seattle disbanded CHOP for violence, which is exactly the argument CHOP made to disband the police. Will Seattle send in and take over a police station the next time there is a police murder?
- 8bitsrule 6y agoYes. Reminiscent of the 1999 WTO protests. During which groups of black-garbed squatters from out-of-state trashed storefronts yet somehow evaded authorities. For days.
- mempko 6y agoThe worst thing people can do is show their government they don't need them. This was Occupy's mistake and this is CHOP's mistake. People were confused with Occupy. They asked "Why don't they create a political party, why don't they make demands". Well, the whole point is to show you don't need that government. And of course in both cases, the police come in and violently suppress it.
- gnusty_gnurc 6y agoNah sorry I don't buy what you're saying. These movements are usually operated by grifters. In the case of BLM, a small group of self-proclaimed "trained marxists" are lining their pockets to the tune of millions from human misery and seemingly funneling it into democrat PACs.
- mempko 6y agoYes, Marxists want to funnel money into a capitalist political party. Makes perfect sense.... /s
