As he pulled his luggage through downtown New Haven, Conn., a woman handed him a flier describing his new city as crime-ridden and dangerous. It listed alarming local crime statistics and instructed students to “remain on campus,” “avoid public transportation” and “stay off the streets after 8 p.m.” Illustrated with a picture of the Grim Reaper, the flier wished students an ominous “Good luck.”
But perhaps most jarring was the source of the flier, listed plainly in its text: the union that represents Yale’s own campus police.

You just want to punch up, which is understandable. But it's not leftism, and it doesn't justify victimizing a person instead of a company.
we don't have target here
way less likely to get caught mugging some rando
you don't really need to hurt them
again, never said it's leftism
you also need to flog the tv
and get it home
Stalin robbed banks, not individuals, and he was doing it to fund a proletarian party, not for his personal benefit.
Few people want to associate with a political movement that encourages or allows casual violence. Those movements are disconnected from the people and open season for opportunists. It should not be a hot take to want violence to be carefully directed towards political ends.
