Black Lives Matter is the Strongest Argument for Socialism Yet

So cops are making the conservative/Trumpian grievance argument: Think how hard they have it? Sure, there's instances of the police putting their lives on the line, some valid, but imagine how much of it occurs because of systemic/cultural racism, other injustices, & cops' bitterness and trying to get what's theirs.

I have my issues with the current Far Left in the United States, but if there's any argument for socialism, this is it. Seriously, if everyone received good, sincere care from day one, this shit would be reduced by so much. Instead, we have a paramilitary force created to keep black people down to try covering up how much society doesn't care about cultivating Black Lives and Black Families.

We rather have a society that seeks to destroy them structurally then through the police and prison systems (where then many are pushed into slave labor because the 13th and 14th Amendments do not protect against slavery of someone who has been convicted. We still have the vestiges of Black Codes, if we don't 100% still have them).

Police brutality, the horrible police union that has established an agreement that makes its members near immune to prosecution of police brutality, the code of silence, the culture of war and killology, viewing BIPOC in certain neighborhoods as criminals (if you familiarize yourself with the Laquan McDonald case, you'll hear about how the murderer, Jason Van Dyke, was talking himself up for the kill in the squad car on the way to the encounter), etc. The prevalence of these problems are the symptom of a system that puts profits and power over lives and family, especially Black Lives and Black Families.

The system needs fixing & maybe a total replacement, and it starts with the police.

It starts with Black Lives Mattering. It starts with Black Families Mattering. Fix the police by defunding it then reallocating those funds to building up Black Lives and Black Families.
