I mean the ruling class is not only interested in keeping the peace. Sometimes street violence serves their interests, and I think his purpose is less about preventing the left from punching chuds and more about steering the left away from threatening ideology, and thus in turn threatening praxis.
And I'm sorry but I'm not interested in a nuanced take about someone who works for an NED-funded rag and tells the "radical left" to hate all of the US's adversaries and do ineffective decentralized/horizontal organization.
The US government doesn't care if some anarchists spar with white supremacists in the US. The US has completely military and police control inside its own borders. The entire grift of people like Robert is that they can look radical by supporting the most radical policies within the US, like rioting or changing economic policies, because they will never happen in this political system, but then turn around and repeat the CIA/State Dept lines on any foreign policy issue, to get other so called radicals in the US to become useful tools of the government in carrying out imperialism. Robert isn't actually challenging any propaganda or narratives about anyone other than some activist teenagers and cops in the US.
The US government is white supremacist. It's chocked with racial supremacists. Racial supremacy and capitalism go together. Fighting white supremacy is fighting cops, fighting cops is fighting the state. The state is white supremacist. You can't pretend that fighting cops doesn't matter only the military. The cops are domestic military at this point. What kind of state is okay with anarchists fighting cops? Anarchy isn't a challenge to capital? I'm not an anarchist and I know we like to have our sectarian shitfights. But this is just silly. I hate to be rude, but you copy/pasted this comment at me so I assume you think it's particularly good.

"Guy having bad takes on twitter turns leftists into useful tools of imperialism" Pure ideology. Please don't tell me you go around saying how much of a ML you are and how everyone who isn't is a lib op while saying shit like the above.
So he's an op when he's against violence, but also an op when he's for it?
"There's slightly more nuance here" seems right.
