Sounds perfect.

Just under half of the Autobahn has no speed limit if we're being precise. That proportion would be much larger in the US since we're a much more rural nation.

The Autobahn has speed limits in urban areas, during bad weather, and around construction. But yeah, the German system sounds great. Would love to implement all that in America.

Okay, good for you. Do you have evidence to cite or is that just the vibe you get?

Probably because no society in history has ever managed to have "good police" and I doubt we'll be the one to figure it out.

Also, the autobahn has fewer accidents than American highways despite having no speed limit. We should make it much harder to get a license, and distribute licenses at the federal level, then get rid of speed limits on most highways nationally.

Not particularly, no. Cops don't prevent either, the best we can hope is that they catch someone in the act. Usually they only show up after an accident has occurred.

Traffic cameras could detect when a driver is swerving and dispatch a social worker/traffic enforcement officer to pull over drunky.

I think traffic cameras are great, traffic enforcement should be entirely hands-off/digital. However, until we remove cops from the equation traffic enforcement will continue to primarily be a vector of abuse.

Fundamentally if they don't hurt anyone I don't care how many tickets they get. Ticketing disproportionately impacts people who are low income already, and when the cops get involved the traffic violation is usually just an excuse to abuse a brown person.

It's almost like he's a... Ghost in the Machine

Jacobin will really just publish any ol' nonsense these days, huh?

BTK should just be shot. There's no point in wasting time and resources rehabilitating a serial killer :p

It seems to me like you're coming at this from the perspective that winning at the ballot box is the ultimate goal of politics and I fundamentally disagree. Our society is founded upon violence, and only through revolution can it be reshaped. Nonetheless, I hope you have a pleasant day.

"The people" would exist with or without the concept of "America". Nations are nonsense made up by men with power to justify the oppression of the working class. They only get in the way of global cooperation.

Immediately after the Civil War ended America turned its military against native peoples to accelerate their genocide and steal more resources. Abraham Lincoln's vision of liberation for slaves was deporting them back to Africa as a colonial project.

The nation was founded by slave owners and it fought the Nazis only reluctantly while perpetrating atrocities all the while. It's aided and abetted countless genocides across the globe since becoming a global hegemon and betrayed its own stated principles at every turn. Death to America.

America is a nation founded upon genocide by slave owners and there's nothing worthwhile to preserve in its legacy.

The US must be torn down just as all other nations and states must be destroyed in order to build global communism. Reformism is only valuable insofar as it creates the material conditions for class consciousness and revolution. I'm as of yet uncertain that Mamdani will do that.

The Rosenbergs were heroes, though. Don't compare Donny to people who sacrificed their lives to avoid a world where America is the sole nuclear power.
