There’s two ways I can think of to resolve the problem you’ve proposed off the top of my head:

1. Venerate the people who perform these functions publicly
2. Create an engineered solution to significantly reduce the human labour in maintenance

How many solutions can you think of?

This scenario doesn’t specify you go back in time though.

100% people would volunteer to collect garbage.

Community cleanups occur regularly in my local area.

The “No” line from “Would other people be willing to work to create X if they weren’t forced to?” should just directly lead to “Then capitalism is wasting its resources on X.”

Yep donkeys are dope.

If it ain’t pointy don’t stick it.

Get Wynne!!!

That’s what good pushi looks like.

Persia had a strong influence on the development of Chess so not really a surprise.

Sacré Bleu!!!

Not at all shocking because it was never really a double standard.

The LNP exists to maintain the current power structures of Australia. If you in any way threaten that structure (based on Anglo-European patriarchal values) the LNP will be against you. If you uphold those values they will support you.

Now watch as Warren does nothing that stops it from happening.

Yeah was going to say, the actual answer is, surprisingly a lot.

They’ll release a gamer version of these robots with RGB don’t worry.

On Lemmy you can advocate for violence against literal Nazis.

Can you explain what exactly a police officer does to ensure there is not a power shift?

• To be clear I’m talking about the structure of the police. If you’re asking me what individual officers do day to day to maintain power structures I’d point to any example of racial profiling, use of force, selective enforcement and the concept of property protection.

• I ask you, who benefits the most from tax payer funded security for private property protection?

How do you think the proletariat class does not have awareness that they are a lowest class worker who is trading their time for profit?

• This is reasonably self evident through the rise in right wing political parties who are voted for by people against their own self interest and who advocate for the externalisation of the problems with capitalism by blaming a subset of the proletariat, ie migrants.

• How do you explain the rise in inequality and decline in living standards if not for the failure of our current economic system?

What does a police officer do day to day to impact this, seeing as your sentiment is police incidentallyhelp sometimes from this I take you mean a majority of police work is for capitalism.

• Yes, police are tools of capitalism.

I would have thought if there was such a strong focus on protecting capitalism, they would for example be strongly enforcing illegal tobacco, they are not.

• I think you’re conflating capitalism with commerce or the economy. Protecting capitalist interest does not entail protecting markets it’s instead ensuring the power of society is maintained by those with capital. A specific example would be the lack of consequences for those people involved with Epstein.
• How do you explain those lack of consequences if capital does not equate to power and police are beholden to those interests?

Most protests that I am aware of are generally around environment, human rights. I haven’t seen a protest around proletariat low SES rights, why do you think that is?

• The fundamental cause of human rights breaches and environmental destruction is capitalism so there is a strong argument to be made they are one and the same. However if you reject that, I would ask whether you’ve never heard of a protest for workers rights? Were you alive during the Occupy Wall Street protests?

• Finally, ca you conceive of a world without police forces in their current form?

Police are the violence enacted by the state to protect capitalist interests.

While they incidentally help in sometimes solving crime, this is not and never was, their true purpose.

Making sure the proletariat do not gain class consciousness and making sure power can not shift from capital is their job.

When people say ACAB it means that because they are tools of the capitalist elite they cannot definitionally be anything other than bastards who are ignorant of class consciousness or are willing participants in their own abuse at the hands of capitalists using them because it gives them some kind of proxy power.

ICE is as American as political violence and providing safe refuge for Nazis.

Given the current global political climate I think it’s fair to say most people are not students of history.

I’d be happy if Australians learnt about Australian politics.

This country is filled to the brim with politically ignorant luddites who think they are informed because they solely consume Murdoch media.
