Where do cops come from and why does the capitalist state need them? ❓🚓

On Tuesday the 28th, organizer and author brian bean will share reflections at Firestorm Books on the connection between policing and capitalism. Drawing from their new book "Their End Is Our Beginning," brian will trace the roots and development of policing through colonial rule, racist enslavement, and class oppression, concluding with an analysis of how police power can be challenged and, ultimately, abolished to build a thriving community-organized society!

'Lewis takes up a debate with several Black feminists who have, at various times, questioned the idea of family abolition, whose central argument has been that, very often, Black families have been sites of resistance against racism. Similarly, we could point to many experiences of class struggle in which sectors of working families have played a key role against the attacks of capital: supporting strikes, establishing relations of solidarity between factories and neighborhoods, staging rent strikes, maintaining soup kitchens, creating movements in defense of public services, and many other forms of resistance. The tradition of “women’s commissions” in strikes, for example, has allowed the working class to articulate fighting forces far beyond the workplace.

'To this criticism Lewis responds that, even so, we should not cease working for the abolition of the family, since we would not need its “protective shield” if we managed to build a society without racism. The argument contains a grain of truth, but it stops halfway. It fails to contemplate the role that the family relations within sectors of the working class and oppressed can play in moments of heightened class struggle. On another level, it doesn’t account for the fact that capitalism, while it needs such a “social cell” for its own reproduction, constantly undermines working families’ very conditions of existence. Marx and Engels remarked on this in the mid-19th century, pointing to the length of the working day, the lack of decent housing, and the general precariousness of working class life.'

@gwynnion I spoke to a friend and mentioned some safety thing I did and she said "in case you get mugged".

I said, "no. to protect me from law enforcement".

Crime doesn't scare me, fascism scares me. #abolitionism

Next Saturday we're teaming up with our buddies at Appalachian Medical Solidarity and the Asheville Bail Fund to host a discussion on abolition through the lens of healthcare with Dr. Ronica Mukerjee, co-editor of "All This Safety is Killing Us."

This discussion will examine the book as well as the impacts of over policing and deadly conditions at the Buncombe County Detention Center on our own community's health and well-being. Copies of "All This Safety Is Killing Us" will be available during the event, along with opportunities to support local grassroots efforts toward health justice. We hope to see you there!

Full details can be found at https://firestorm.coop/events/3398-abolition-and-health-justice-with-dr-ronica-mukerjee.html

Appalachian Medical Solidarity and Asheville Bail Fund host a discussion of All This Safety is Killing Us, the first abolitionist anthology that focuses on healthcare!

I said, “I want everybody to be free.” he said “oh yeah I want rapists and murderers to be free” (eye roll) and I said “yeah, I do” (I verge on #abolitionism) and he said “I hope they all find you” and I decided to move along.

When Sojourner Truth (circa 1797-1883) escaped from slavery, she later said, "I did not run off, for I thought that wicked, but I walked off, believing that to be all right" (Delbanco, 142). #History #HarrietTubman #Abolitionism #Slavery #HistoryFact https://whe.to/ci/2-2740-en/
