>The police exist to protect the wealthy and their property.
As a thought experiment, what would happen if they existed to protect the inverse segment and their property?
- I-M-S 1y agoThe inverse would be to use the monopoly on violence to punish those who wish to use property for their self-interest at the expense of the common good. Basically imagine police throwing in jail people who declare a plot of land as belonging to them, or someone who has seized the means of production and is now pocketing all the profits.
