Exactly. Law is an arena of class struggle, not unmitigated class domination. We don’t only stand for the gains that have been made but approach the struggle dialectically and build upon the civil rights that have been won to mount class struggle. https://twitter.com/yevangeIion/status/1276291735874932737

We don’t want anyone to lose their rights. I view the abolitionist calls not to jail killer cops as asking people to waive the few rights they have at vindication under the law and redress from the state. The state and the masses have an adversarial relationship but the

masses literally constitute the state through their wealth via taxes. We don’t ask for people to surrender their rights. It’s “survival PENDING REVOLUTION.”

The solution is eminently *not* asking the masses to abandon their claims against the state and to follow the Ford-foundation activists into the slaughterhouse.
