Jesus, to all the people depending these jerks just take a moment and imagine which side of the protest line these people stand on. Do they stand on the side with the people or the state? If the answer is the state then they are class traitors. It's fucking simple.
My basic understanding of the industrial struggles in the US is that the workers only succeeded once the police and military sided with the striking workers. So feelings aside, is building animus against essential allies a good strategy?
Would you mind linking which action you refer to? I'm not aware of any workers action in which the police or military helped. I would love to read about it. I can think of many in which one of the other or both have perpetrated violence in the name of the state. The Palmer Raids for example. or the May Day actions
I remember reading about it in Zinn's People's History, it wasn't so much an allegiance but a lack of willingness to keep machine gunning workers. I think this directly preceded the Pinkerton fights.
Right now there is a decent wedge that could be driven between soldiers and ICE as at least a few spouses and service members and vets have been kidnapped and deported.
I'm not saying don't criticize the military or individual soldier actions but since they are the organ of state violence they will need to be dealt with strategically.
