GOVERNMENTS, POLICE, AND THE ELITE Anarchism is against the government, straight up. The job of the government is ultimately to protect a small group of elites and their property. Most of us would be better off without governments. These elites are the economic class of the rich and powerful. No the rich and powerful like Beyonce and Drake. Oh helll no. Elites are the no-talent entertainment industry executives that own the record labels and always get a cut for themselves no matter who’s hot this year. They’re the executives of corporations, the owners of machinery that makes cars, cell phones, guns and drones. They’re the politicians that get cashed out for fixing up the laws to help these greedy business people. The government is the agencies, the laws, and the cops that maintain the power of the super rich people over the rest of us. The police are the front line of government. Their job is to criminalize, beat, intimidate, jail, and kill us so that we never stand a chance at rising agains the elite. FUCK THE POLICE. FUCK THE POLITICIANS. As anarchists we understand that a lot of things that governments claim are bullshit. Even though they claim to be by and for all the diverse people in society, they still serve the elites, and work hard at oppressing the rest of us. One historical example of this is how we are made to memorize that line from the united states declaration of independence that “all men are created equal…” But we know that in reality what they were saying about equality was bullshit because slavery was legal! They weren’t talking about black people, native people, new immigrants, or women. By men, they only mean white men. As anarchists, we feel that Citi is crucial call them on their bullshit, which is still very present in today’s world. When government workers like city council members and cops call themselves public servants while calling us gang members, writing and enforcing curfew and anti-protest laws, and terrorizing us in the street, that’s some bullshit! Anarchism is not a political party. We’re over going out to vote. We see that the only voting options are ones that people with hella money came up with. It doesn’t matter if you vote Democrat of Republican, it’s all the same.
