    "Kenosha protests: Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, charged with murders of white demonstrators"

    Strange thing to point out in the headline. Is it to try and convey that he wasn't racist?

      They had to tell us, otherwise we would have no reason to expect white people at a "defend black rights" protest.

    “Freedom of the press” is another of the principal slogans of “pure democracy”. And here, too, the workers know — and socialists everywhere have admitted it millions of times — that this freedom is a deception while the best printing presses and the biggest stocks of paper are appropriated by the capitalists and while capitalist rule over the press remains, a rule that is manifested throughout the world all the more strikingly, sharply, and cynically, the more democracy and the republican system are developed, as in America for example.

    “The first thing to do to win real equality and genuine democracy for the working people, for the workers and peasants, is to deprive capital of the possibility of hiring writers, buying up publishing houses, and hiring newspapers. And to do that the capitalists and exploiters have to be overthrown and their resistance suppressed.

    “The capitalists have always used the term ‘freedom’ to mean freedom for the rich to get richer and for the workers to starve to death.

    “In capitalist usage, freedom of the press means freedom of the rich to bribe the press, freedom to use their wealth to shape and fabricate so-called public opinion.

    “In this respect, too, the defenders of ‘pure democracy’ prove to be defenders of an utterly foul and venal system that gives the rich control over the mass media. They prove to be deceivers of the people who, with the aid of plausible, fine-sounding, but thoroughly false phrases, divert them from the concrete historical task of liberating the press from capitalist enslavement.

    I want this to happen any time something happens in the name of labor. "Exploited class of people being drained of life and liberty who found inspiration in previous era of Nazi destroyers find themselves in control of machinery designed to produce commodities after guillotine related incident left wealth hoarders without ability to perceive sensations."

    a cop locks eyes with a school shooter and sees himself staring back

    Good fucking lord, if nobody strangle this dipshit in prison now he's gonna be senator. But in the other hand he "killed white protestors" so he won't be free that easily.

        Of course, but he killed white people so he wont be free. "Bullied kids who turn monstruos" still rot in prison if they kill whities, (unless they were cops).

            Yeah, but remember that, according to them "whities antifa/communists are frail spoiled manchildren from upper-middle class", so they are gonna say he's a alpha male hero, but won't save him from life in prison. Had they be black, he would never have even been arrested.
