Cops can’t stop general strikes
Crackdowns only turn supporterts to active rebels, and sympathizers to supporters.
State Violence only strengthens the movement.

My thinking was “if cops are used for evictions, couldn’t they just knock on your door and drive you to work forcibly?”

And once your there, will they grab your hands and use them to make sandwiches or type code or whatever you do for a living? It’s much easier to deny living space than compel action.

“Driving you to work forcibly” sounds like violence to me.

Are they going to stand there with a gun pointed at me making me work? Will they bring you home at the end of the day? Hell, I’m thinking I could cut my commute costs and probably get more done!
