I looked at the CA/AA contrast and filled in under the CA column the tendency in Catalyst to present high level theoretical debates (largely one-sided) on such matters as “market socialism”, etc. In that... a basis for my strong *preference* for one over the other.

These are two reform programs: the CA/Catalyst program is bourgeois utopian and anarchist while the AA one I prefer in this dilemma is bourgeois bureaucratic and materialist. It is not my political aim but preferable for it.

The police are the police. There is no doing away with them. What concretely will be doing the “beef up”? Individual liability or qualified immunity? Leaner resources or sufficient resources? If the former, it’s accelerationist.

Thinking of Flann O’Brien’s Third Policeman and entering Mather’s house to retrieve the box.
