andFamous progressive sympathetic organization: The Police
your name, face, age, money in your bank account
Every developed country has this info on it's citizenry, heck most developing countries these days do to. You're arguing basic bureaucracy is totalitarian.
where you spend your time, where you have been to, etc.
And most countries have some means of keeping track of this too if they suspect you're guilty of a crime. Again, describing this as some unique "evil" makes no sense, any sort of state administration does this, you have to prove it's frequently being deployed in a extremely malicious way before you can argue any state is more "authoritarian" or whatever than any other.
“see see pee”
shut up w ur 4chan ass profile
"the Joe Biden knows everything about you, your name, face, age, money in your bank account, where you spend your time, where you have been to, etc. I don't think you could call that good use of surveillance."
America's surveillance apparatus is leagues more brutal than any Chinese system but USians don't hear about it because it's being field tested in the genocide of Palestine and hunting down migrants at the border. It's also incredibly fucked, your 9 digit SSN is basically used for anything govt. related and can basically be considered your state mandated government ID from birth. So much of American data is held up in data brokers who will literally sell your personal info (enough for anyone to impersonate you) to the government or to other companies, the 3 letter agencies literally hoard petabytes of American data they gathered after 9/11 when the US basically became what the liberal imagination thinks China is.
China has spent decades perfecting their surveillance apparatus and yet it's not the extrajudicial murder, school shooting, prisoner capital of the world.
CPC. Show some respect for the country's actual title
I was wondering how this thread got 80+ comments and it's all just literally one liberal larping as an anarchist
It wont be used against them because they will support SPD Hindenburg Fuhrer to the bitter end
The progressive case for The Camps
It's interesting how she uses the voices of people of color to try to justify this. I tried looking into her background, and it seems like she's just white? This might be more blackwashing (idk if this is a real term) than representing what the "black community" wants. Add to that how the "black community" is not a monolith, and it really doesn't seem very genuine.
Also, she was charged with child endangerment. Just a fun fact I found while looking her up.
Opposing ideas without investigating and ignoring real-world problems that get in the way of sweeping solutions are hallmarks of ultraleftism.
Recognizing the theoretical utility of empowering the investigative apparatus of a hypothetical proletarian state is a piss poor defense of empowering the actually existing settler colonial bourgeois state with tools to defend their class supremacy. I'm no scholar, but I'm pretty sure Mao's point wasn't that you should arm your class enemies to better fantasize about how cool it would be if those tools fell into your lap instead. Lenin is quite clear: "Today, in Britain and America, too, 'the precondition for every real people's revolution' is the smashing, the destruction of the 'ready-made state machinery'"
the guy at the top is at minimum doing actual harm reduction
yeah, and Joe Biden Kamala Harris is the most progressive president in history so who are you to shirk your duty to vote for him her to Save Democracy™? after all, "shut up and listen to the sensible policy solutions of qualified bourgeois experts" was famously Mao's whole deal...

Policy Director at the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office - why did they bury this pretty important conflict of interest information. Slate letting fucking cops write Copaganda disguising it as pro left reporting / opinions.
Conflict of interests do not exist when publishing propaganda for the ruling class.
It's called burying the lede. It should have been disclosed up front.
Burying the lede refers to the practice of hiding the most important and relevant information within a story, often by placing it towards the end or burying it beneath less crucial details. This technique can be used intentionally to manipulate the narrative or unintentionally due to poor storytelling.
