If we had Communism now

The video of George Floyd being murdered would have been immediately pulled from the internet, and everyone who saw it arrested and never seen again.  The government would have made a statement indicating that the People’s Revolution continued and that even though counter-revolutionary elements were trying to sabotage them that the representatives of the people were performing heroically in protecting the working people and middle classes.

Same with Breonna Taylor, whose death was a necessary outcome of the struggle against Fascists and counter-revolutionaries.

All deaths, by State sponsored and controlled police, would be deemed vitally and regrettably necessary, and all conflicting footage and people made to disappear.

Put another way, any honest person who genuinely wanted to improve the world would not last a New York minute in an authentic Communist regime.  They would disappear without a trace, and lies would be told about them in their absence.

I don’t understand why academics, who could and should study what is now open history, well attested by thousands if not tens of thousands of people, continue to fail to draw obvious and inescapable conclusions.  For my own part, it is hard not to believe they WANT bloodshed, death, pain, and an irrational and omnipotent State.

I have, of course, argued this often.  At some point, the switch flips, and they root for the bad.
