It factually isn't, though. Anyone who would make that statement hasn't even skimmed the stats on the cost of incarceration. Prison labor offsets the cost of incarceration, there's no profit for the state at all. Private prisons generate profit, but only because they are paid by overburdened states; if they had the "opportunity" to pick people off the street and imprison them in present conditions for their labor, it wouldn't be profitable. There's plenty about the prison system that's gross, no need to make shit up.

Ive always thought from the beginning of the riots that the cops should have been withdrawn. Let the civillians decide if they want the cops back and if they do then they must protest against the prorestors. How would you feel about that? In theory you should be in favour of it but in reality it would leave you with no one to target and throw stuff at. Sure you could keep trashing everything but eventually you would just look silly. I think if there was no cops taking no action it would take the wind out of your sails and all credibility out of your affectations and posturing. But of course trump would be criticised if he did this and blamed for the vandalism. So hes(and the law) are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Its a win win for u. No cops =triumohant looting and furries having orgies on the street. With cops=self congratulatory violence and finger pointing....until theres no economy left and then you have to eat your cats and your comrades just to survive. So would you rather rather there was no police presence? I dont think so!

@The Snow Nigro The average worker is usually on board with most anarchist talking points as long as you don't call it anarchism. Workplace democracy is far more popular than workplace dictatorship. Yet as you point out, not many workers support anarchism (which is workplace democracy), but support capitalism (workplace dictatorship) in stead. Why do you think that is the case?

I hope that the wave of donations and community support in the near future can be redirected to helping organize these free community programs/self-defense forces. As important as the bail funds are, it’s discouraging to think that all that money is getting injected right back into the corrupt prison system.

There were two protests organized in my local area. Largely student-run, majority white solidarity moves with the larger protests elsewhere in the country. But one thing that struck me about them was a lack of any conversation on what it all means besides simple moral statements (killing innocent black people is wrong, racism is bad). I kind of wanted to talk to a few people about how they can push their organization and the conversation further, but wasn't sure how to broach the topic of how do we take a anti-racism movement in the modern era towards a fully matured world-view and program so it can actually do a thing. I remember being there and mostly thinking back to MLK and James Baldwin and the identification of racism with labor inequality and how this should be re-introduced to the current program. The same at the second protest, while being nominally older was still effected by what I guess would be called a liberal fetish of the political ritual; a lot of chanting slogans and holding signs so people driving down the road can see but not trying to disrupt anything or build any theatrics as I saw when I was at a prison strike solidarity protest, which actively took over the streets to march, chant, sing, demonstrate and make a show of presenting demands to the state Department of Justice and in general force themselves into the public consciousness for a few minutes. But unlike then, it was just nice small-town politics, set aside to be inoffensive even though the local sheriffs department was putting out public statements to not attend because there were rumors of someone wanting to come and burn downtown down. The state of the demonstration too was sort of confirmed to be entirely liberal and inoffensive when one of the organizers (I would assume), probably a college kid crying about how she's afraid AntiFa will come and cause trouble because that was the fear of the day. I suppose also I felt like getting that off my chest. I would like to see this get off the ground so something more productive can be done and to elevate the messaging beyond the idealistic.

This is a very very important video. I'm from Brazil, Rio, a place that we had the police kill at least 1 black kid per week, statistically . The last one died last week, we are used to see this and there is no mass organization agaisnt it. Since the murder of George Flyod, some groups in here have been rising awarness that this is not normal and it shoudn't be just a usual thing in our daily lives, but there are so many who die that way that it's trully countless after some time, I hear gunshots literally everyday where i live. It's just an on going pain that turns into general rage. But just like the US, in here, the police exclusively cares about protecting property and the rulling class and hushing whatever popular demand from the working class, and, ironically, it's completly usual to see a black or poor person defending the police, the liberal State and the neoliberal structure that leads us to this as well, so the result it's that most people just stay quiet in fear and hate. I do hope, though, that what it's happening in the US with the Black Lives Matter movement and ANTIFA movement turns into something bigger, something that we, brazilians, can have some taste of. Because we need it. Thank you for speaking up, I really adore your videos.

Dude, I am all about that but after what I saw this weekend in Dallas, let me tell you that’s all fairytales. This was a movement triggered by the establishment itself. Both sides are the establishment. And being that this wasn’t a genuine take by the people, they’re showing up without a plan, strategy and without arms. Antifa and blm types were trained by the establishment knowingly or not. The average person is too busy on Instagram and KZread to actually learn how to build anything that would even give us some leverage against the army our tax dollars have funded for generations. I have been attending protests, violent and not violent, for 15 years. This was the most obscene display of hidden hand I’ve seen. I can’t even say the movement is infiltrated. For that, agents of chaos would have to be 3 to 10, this was 8 to 10, with many of those being people released from State prison due to virus fears (that all of the sudden aren’t an issue by the way) for this very purpose. You’re not revolting. You’re being prompted and allowed to go out and basically throw a fit so that you give the media enough optics to make EVEN MORE involvement of police, SWAT teams and surveillance justified in our lives. You think all of the sudden the governor got hip and wants to support the defunding of police??? The police should be defunded, I agree. ONCE WE have genuinely prepared not only as individuals but as community. They just pulled the SAME stunt in Mexico. Look it up, Giovanni Lopez. Why isn’t the media talking about the rise in suicides? (Ask the homicide dept where you live) Why aren’t they telling us about the human rights violations in Guantanamo? To have any kind of revolution, you’d have to do it on YOUR OWN schedule. Not when they placed a bait, right when the country is most vulnerable and the average person can’t even think straight because they’ve been at home for 3 months having brain freeze from watching TV, eating, and not much else.

You’ll never be free when you look to corporations and elite to deliver you. Freedom relies on an independent self reliant people who derive economic prosperity from themselves. That’s the power all Americans were given 250 years ago. When you give this power to the government the politicians, or the elites, you lose a bit of your freedom, and boast nothing to gain. It may seem like a good idea to incorporate bureaucracy, boards, and dense social programs into the government, but ask yourself, are you really happier this way? Is life really better than it was half a century ago? Back before healthcare was deprivatized we could actually afford it. Back before the boards and committees were apart of our school system we had the highest scores. Back before we raised taxes for social programs our unemployment rate was low. Back before we tangled our politics in a dense thicket of bureaucracy corruption was low. Why do we do this to ourselves when things were better simple?

As long as people have major physiological differences it will be an obstacle to them having empathy for one another.

The foundational right of black liberation should be the right to go from the cradle to the grave without ever seeing a white face unless you have chosen to work in diplomacy, trade, or as a soldier eliminating the remnants of the old order.

How is using prisoners for unpaid labor even legal? What the fuck is happening in a country where that is considered anything but indentured servitude, IE. slavery. There isn't a world where the incentives of prison labor run parallel to the enforcemement of universal principals of justice. So long as there is money to be made from prison labor, people will be unjustly imprisoned for profit.

yeah, I don't really pay attention to BLM's platform (if they even have an official one) because I'm not politically active other than voting. but no matter what it probably needs more focus on prison reduction, that's honestly way worse than getting killed imo because its way more people, a greater net amount of suffering, and more dirty profits.

The fraternal order of police only lobbied 220K? is it just me or is that a drop in the bucket? It seems like exponentially more $ is going to anti police causes which is sort of silly, shouldn’t destruction and anarchy be free, some of these other stats are also????

I agree a lot with this video, but in London where the idea for the modern police started, the metropolitan police founded by Robert Peel was initially part of a series of liberal reforms to the justice system, prisons were terrible and the only police were night watchmen and constables who were elected or were volunteers. It was a disaster, with the rising population in London, changes had to be made as crime went up and so the met police was founded and spread around. It is a massive oversimplification to say police were always there just to put down the common man or workers. A dangerous oversimplification at that because it feeds the narritive that a police system is inheritly damaging and has always just been a method to protect those ontop. The police system pretty much everywhere is shit and fucked, making sure people get a well rounded view of the police is very important too, these are people not robots.

Much of the current system, including basically all Democrats, actors, massive corporations, and even some high rank military personnel, have voiced support of BLM -If corporations benefit from brutal policing, why are is every major corporation coming out in support of BLM? Bank of America donated 1 Billion to BLM -If property damage strikes the system where it hurts, why do so many people within the system still outright support it? There was another question but I've forgotten it. Again, these are legitimate questions that I would appreciate an answer to.

@@waywaywayf2407 I'll lean myself out of my window here towards the question why capital and mainstream politicians appear to support the movement. Firstly, A good image sells. Appearing woke and sympathetic to any cause that the PR machine interprets as good with a wide swathe of potential voters and/or customers helps to prop up that good image. This image does not need to (and almost never does) represent the actual impact a company or political bloc has on the lives of people. A company like google may voice support through their PR machine, but that says nothing about the way they treat their employees, or how they squeeze people for data to sell to business (or government organs.), or how they impact politics for their gain behind the curtains. A politician in the same way can claim to be supportive of a movement, when their actual records would indicate that they are really not. Another point is that the relationship between the police and business is mediated through many layers (of bureaucracy on government side, and being a seperate entity from government altogether for business) that work to obfuscate that relationship, to the point where politicians and businesses can claim support for BLM without having to deal with themselves appearing to be directly involved in violence. They profit from that violence by gaining political and social power, but are so far removed from the actual violence that they can safely feel not to be involved with it. And as long as they can maintain that appearance of distance, or uninvolvement altogether, to the actions of police and the justice system, the image is maintained, and political capital can be gained. Just because somebody claims to be your friend, does not mean they are your friend.

If we (anyone in any country, I'm not American) had a police that was proportionally as brutal with criminals based on the economic impact, the impact on child and women's corruption and the killcount of criminals... That would give me such a boner that I could use it to brutalize crowds myself. Imagine, if petty criminals get such treatment, what kind of torture should be applied to patrons that alienate the added value of their workforce to their workers, big tax evaders in enterprise, the murderers of union leaders, big business coup d'etat backers...
