Though he did clarify they don't have a worse police state than the US. He just both-sides it.

Edit - It's a law of hexbear that every discussion must turn into a struggle session. Especially if the discussion involves China.

    a proletarian state doesn’t have private property, and there would be no need to have a gang to protect it

    Proletarian state can still have things that are in short supply that should be distributed according to the principles of common proletarian good. Some asshole stealing communal property might be less the ideal.

    There are also non-property crimes, like crimes of passion and shit.

      Yeah, a neighborhood watch isn't gonna be able to solve certain shit like a serial killer going around multiple places like Chikatilo, simply because you can't equip every neighborhood watch with extensive education in spotting patterns and building a profile, nor can you equip them all with forensic laboratories to analyse evidence(In theory you could but it's far less effective than having specialized forces who cover much larger areas but less overall crimes).
