might be shouting into the void but if you think “defund the police” failed because it wasn't radical enough, there's nothing more to say. it's just such a staggering misreading of what the electorate actually looks like that it makes actual progress impossible.

people (amricans) are afraid of being rdical bc they think revolution will lead to destruction which will lead to an apocalyptic society or a third-world society that the nation tries so hard to distance themselves from

this is ironic because once people realized Defund was actually Abolish, it lost all support and no police departments ever got defunded

building a successful political movement with the core message that defund the police failed for being too moderate

If "free Palestine" means "the destruction of Israel," then Palestine will never be free. If "free Palestine" means "living in peace with Israel," then Palestine can be free. Violence is a boomerang. If you try to destroy others, you end up destroying yourself.
