I don't think that's right.
In general we have police because they at some point were deemed necessary for public order.
When was it generally agreed that police are detrimental to community life?
EDIT: The top line is from theanarchistlibrary.org
Who are the target audience of a publication like that? What kind of person reads the anarchist library, what do they have in common?
- wahnfrieden 4y agoAnarchists are respectable people who deserve dignity, not automatic criminals. Why are you using hardened political rhetoric to suggest otherwise simply based on political values
- engineer_22 4y agoI'm not using any political rhetoric, and never accused anarchists of being criminals.
- wahnfrieden 4y ago"cops were made for community welfare" is ahistorical political rhetoric. apologies for taking provocation from your hints about questioning anarchist audience/motive in relation to community welfare. btw, the circle around the anarchist Ⓐ means "order" - anarchists are as interested in community as you are, the difference is in terms of political means (anarchists don't believe the state, legal and state-sponsored policing systems have community's best interests in mind or incentive). anarchist literature is for everyone.
- genewitch 4y ago> they at some point were deemed necessary for public order. yeah, around when those pesky slaves were escaping and their owners sent squads out to collect their missing property. I'm not sure this is the butt-slam you were hoping for, partner.
- engineer_22 4y agoYou're trying to bait me. I think we both know policing has a history and tradition in areas of the United States that outlawed slavery long prior to the civil war.
