The fake left is pushing this story about a cop who said cops and soldiers in the mob were flashing their badges at them. It’s important to understand why, if true, that is significant and the distortions of this significance by the fake left in service of the ruling class.
The fake left, just like the police, serve the interests of the ruling class. These interests are centered around the accumulation of capital. This requires both institutions capable of violent repression of workers as well as institutions that disseminate false...
or misleading information to workers to distort their ability to engage in meaningful class analysis. In this case, the fake left media wants workers to believe that the police were involved in a conspiracy to “storm” the Capitol in order to stage a “coup” that would place...
Donald Trump in power forever. With even the slightest bit of reflection, this is an utterly ludicrous analysis of what actually transpired a couple days ago. It would require the police, a ruling class institution of state repression, to be acting against the interests of...
the ruling class. If in fact badges were being flashed as a signal, it was to signal to the police that an operation planned by the ruling class was underway. They were letting the police know that the ruling class had given the ok for people to enter the Capitol and that a...
televised spectacle was occurring for a purpose other than what it appeared to be on its face. When fake left journalists push the fascist coup narrative, they are reinforcing the legitimacy of capitalism and negating the ruling class’s role in this spectacle. So what is the...
purpose of this spectacle? Well it’s quite simple. The US ruling class is aware of capital’s inability to reproduce itself as effectively as it has in the past. There appears to be a growing discontent among US workers with the ruling class’s concessions to them and its...
institutions of repression. As to whether the protests and riots from several months ago were meaningful is another debate, but they did occur and are demonstrative of this discontent regardless. In order for the ruling class to avoid violent conflict with the workers, the...
best strategy for them is to create a situation where workers consent, rather than submit, to their repression. Recent examples of this strategy include the Crime Bill of 1994, 9/11, the election of Barack Obama, and now the “storming” of the Capitol. The upshot of this...
farce is going to be laws created by a Democrat-controlled federal government that make it harder for workers to organize, protest, and resist state oppression. It will be a strengthening of the state’s security apparatus. It is also worth pointing out that, as it always...
does in this nation, a strengthening of the state security apparatus will be most sharply felt by the group with the most revolutionary potential in this nation: black workers. Workers must resist any and all efforts by the ruling class to strengthen its security apparatus.
Any of their proposals that are ostensibly to protect us from right-wing violence are a trap meant to weaken our ability to fight. The fake left and the police work together with all of capitalism’s institutions to preserve the rule of the bourgeoisie over us. Don’t be fooled.
