How to End Political Violence ?

Solve the problem not the symptoms

You can treat your blister, or you can get rid of it. One involves addressing the symptoms using tape, ointment, or one of a hundred store-bought remedies. A temporary solution to a reoccurring problem. Or you can get a new pair of shoes and solve the problem at its source.

Political violence is not just isolated assassinations or physical attacks. Political violence is also government sponsored murder and assaults on working and poor people. State-sponsored political violence is genocide in Gaza, ICE terror, police brutality, childhood hunger, homelessness, lack of medical care and environmental destruction.

We are told to treat the symptom not the source. The media, talking heads and politicians tell us that the solution is punishment, vengeance and more violence. They want to isolate the problem to a single individual or a small group. Concentrate on the WHO not the WHY and totally coverup state-sponsored violence.

In order to end state-sponsored political violence, we must understand its role in society. The main role of political violence is to defend the economic system and the government built upon that system. Our economic system is based upon private property, exploitation and continued accumulation of wealth, all done at the expense of working and poor people. In short, Capitalism.

Private property is the root cause of state-sponsored political violence. In the capitalist system, you own it or you work for those who do. In the U.S., the capitalists, the 1percent, own the technology, the platforms and the corporations. We are the 99 percent who are forced to work for a living, or face massive debt, homelessness or are not allowed to work at all. 

Our entire legal system, all our institutions, are set up to grow and protect private wealth, wealth that grows from robbery and corruption. 

The only way to end state-sponsored political violence is to end the Capitalist rule of our country.

The solution is an economic, social and political revolution.

Can we do this? Yes! It is a matter of simple arithmetic.  We can replace the 1 percent if we join together to fight for the common good. We need to form a political party that represents us, the 99 percent. Only by winning political power can we begin to build the beautiful future that is technologically feasible for everyone.

Only by winning political power can we truly end political violence.

We can do this; we must do this.
