According to Lenin's theory of THE CAPITALIST STATE ( read his " State and Revolution " ) it is essentially a body of armed thugs devoted to defending sacrosanct PRIVATE PROPERTY rights. The so called WELFARE STATE often effectively hides this function: the repression of the working class in the interest of the plutocracy. 322959
Behind " Black Lives Matter " protests is this more general truth : police brutality is inherent in the capitalist system itself. Even petty violation of property rights can get ANY petty criminal an instant death sentence. CLASS trumps RACE every time .
For the same reason jobless workers must wait so patiently for relief money - so that their families might not starve. For the state bureaucrats it is more important to catch one low life cheater and let 1000 applicants for FOOD money go desperate . The capitalist ruling class puts the states on rations . They never even think of cutting the military budget or really underfunding the police forces especially in the big cities like Chicago , New York , Boston.
Socialist writer Jack London gets the picture right in his novels " The Iron Heel " and " The People of the Abyss ".
Only philistine ambition will inspire the educated class to stick with the " liberal " Democrats . " Sleepy Joe " Biden is called upon to save the TWO PARTY SYSTEM and the " American Way of Life " - now hopelessly Gone With The Wind .
