I have just witnessed and been victimized by ruthless power, and once people have had a bite of the apple, there's no looking back.
The best bet out of this quagmire is China's ascension to the world stage and following through on their socialist ambitions, but I'm skeptical of both humans and AI.
That's too close to some Malthusian human nature bullshit for me.
The proletariat state is enforcing things for a completely different reason and with a completely different context than the bourgeois state. This context matters immensely.
Many Marxist Leninists are also anti police. I think Ruthy Wilson Gilmore and Angela Davis are the most famous of these (although at this moment Gilmore is more of a revolutionary than Davis). Gilmore's Golden Gulag is a good analysis of prisons, but I think her upcoming book will offer more of a program than Golden Gulag. Of those thinkers, who are anti police but think with Marx and Lenin, Robin Kelley is my favorite.
I suggest you look into them if you're thinking through these issues, since they all break out of the anarchist vs ML back and forth.
I think about it all the time but have no idea.
