This is a war that will not end. It is only growing more deadly. In 2013 767 people were
killed by police (64 a month, most of the them African Americans); in 2014 1101 people
were killed by police (92 a month, most of them African Americans); in the 4 months of
2015 380 people have so far been killed police, (95 a month, most of them African
Americans). ---- The militarization of the police has had a predictable outcome: the
police are now behaving like the military would in their policing function. The rules of
martial law are now (unofficially) in effect and anyone who violates those laws is The
Enemy; the "insurgents"; the "terrorists" etc. and subject to summary execution. If by
chance that person happens to be a Black Man, so much the better. The role of the police,
their true role, has always been to protect the property of the Master Class from any
defilement by rebel slaves.
Now, thanks to the grassroots organizing of the Black Lives Matter movement, people have
risen up and are fighting back as best they can. In Baltimore the people are taking the
fight to the oppressors. We can only hope this flame spreads like wildfire, and that the
murderous police forces feel the heat in Philadelphia, New York, Memphis and Los Angeles,
and all the other places they have decided to engage in ethnic cleansing.
In America, the capitalist system was founded on slavery and white supremacy. The only way
to end the insanity of white supremacy is to end the American capitalist system. We need
to build a new society, one based on true egalitarianism, where everyone, EVERY ONE, is
actually and finally equal forever.
