    Because we all know that taking out the bad judges and bad officers would change everything! It's not like this shit is built into the fabric of the United States

      This is the correct take. I'm reminded of that Emma Goldman quote where she opposes assassinating a president because they would simply be replaced with an identical capitalist goon. Removing bad officials (by any means, including peacefully) means nothing without fundamentally changing who is allowed to take up that post.

      This take is fundamentally correct but underestimates the value of instilling fear into the hearts of these goblins

        The last time this happened that group that did proof of the deed got shut down hard and capitalists put an identical if even more cruel person in place to deal with the rising anarchist threat. The correct answer is to build enough power you can tip the scale so when through mass action those people dont have the standing to get back on their feet when power is finally seized.

      I'm not so much wondering why we shouldn't as much as wondering how it hasn't happened more often already. The open spite is incredible.

      I think the idea would be to intimidate cops and judges into being less bad, rather than to replace bad people with good people

      btw I'm not endorsing anything in this discussion lol, %110 academic here
