Its such an infuriating thread: the person that posted this is a former Black Panther turned anti-socialist Khiver, there are a ton of leftist pointing out Fred Hampton was literally assassinated by police and the FBI for resisting their occupation, followed by a bunch of white people (including British white people) furious anyone has the temerity to question this extremely stupid thing this person posted but all they can do is deflect by saying she's a black women and former Black Panther so shut-up. And it turns out she never acutally met Fred Hampton despite all her defenders implying she worked with him.

Like if you want an example of how liberal identity politics is a co-optation and bastardization of the original socialist conception of identity politics, and only used for the purpose of defending the status quo, its this thread.

    Former black panther or really former insert violently dismantled radical org is some of the most damning praise. It basically means at some point a bunch of racist white dudes were sitting around a table going through dossiers and when they came across yours they decided you were either harmless, counter productive or could be turned traitor.

    Who will police the police? The police? What the fuck does that even mean?

    Also notice that every single reply by a black person refuting this is ignored but every white person is dragged by 50 liberals lol.

    I'm fine with police the police. As long as it's the people policing them and not the police themselves. :ak47:

        Yeah that's what I mean. It's honestly funny and grim that a black panther is using the term police the police when they obviously mean like oversight boards. Zero chance why of these yaas kween libs would be down with armed black militias watching the police when they interact with a black man.

        But think about the phrase civil rights. They were already liberals. Radical yes and good but they still viewed the right to vote as a way to be liberated rather than just a simple concession. They were radical in the same way Republicans in monarchist France were. There were socialists and communists in the movement yes but they were always a small junior partner.

    I mean, BPP were known to police the police, following cop patrols with cars full of armed, legally knowledgable members of their organization.* Yet somehow I feel like this is not what Denise had in mind.

    * But even then Fred Hampton and the BPP had bigger goals in mind, so she's still full of shit lol

        She means toss them in prison and murder them in the streets without fear of reprisal right?

    • Police murder poor people and then murder Fred Hampton and his comrades

    • Police budget balloons from $42 billion to $115 billion (1977 to 2017)

    • "Defund the police a little pls"

    • "Fred Hampton would NEVER want this"

    I think this is referring to how the panthers followed around cop cars with guns and stuff to intimidate them, not lib shit.

    Yes, a revolutionary would use liberal slogans

    Why do libs always think that these far left comrades would agree with them???
