Thus the left is able to appear on the side of the people ("we oppose the existence of the police because they brutalise the poor!") while only offering neoliberal solutions (abolish public institutions) and ignoring the material basis of the problem.
They can say that they want to "abolish and replace with public institutions," but that isn't how politics works in 2020. You can fire the public servants and expect private contractors in return. Give and take. Hell, we already have socialism, except for the feed/house/care part
Yeah, plus you don't get to make the demands when you don't have any power. Abolish it and replace it with some well-funded utopian public social work project? Nah, you can have AppleMercenaries, oh and thanks for the tax break! The left of course isn't troubled by this though.
To quote the Velvet Underground about the late 60s kids making the scene, "there are problems in these times, but whoo, none of them are mine...I'm beginning to see the light"
