And what happens if you resist arrest?
You would most likely still be arrested or you would get away if really lucky. But this is all irrelevant, if cops were Thanos snapped capitalism would not go away, without unity in the working class nothing will change. Being able to steal without consequence is not socialism.
Yeah because that's not the only way that the systw. Is maintained by the threat of violence, it's just the most obvious. You keep making points like "you're gonna have to organize and fight" as if that disproves that the current system is maintained by violence. I think you don't quite understand what's being talked about
As I originally said: the threat of force exists but it's not the primary or even secondary way capitalism is maintained. Also if the whole working class unified that would be a force so big force is both irrelevant and quite potentially even unnecessary. But I brought both points up in my previous replies, I'd not accuse someone if not understanding if you yourself end up repeating points already answered.
