I am reading this with a group of well-meaning white liberal ladies from my church. As usual, I am there to be the foil. Mariame Kaba, Ruth Gilmore, and this whole squadron of nonprofit and academia-adjacent so-called radicals are dangerous counter-revolutionaries. So I think it's important that people who are actually serious about shit look at their work and develop critiques and clapbacks.
Abolition is a lie.

Not sarcastic. Not at all. The record shows. Watch this for more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9rvR...
but what makes you say “abolition is a lie”? and how being critical about punitive justice can be “counter-revolutionary”? im really interested in where all of this comes from cause me and the ppl im organizing just started reading this
You should watch the video. America "abolished" slavery. All the empires did and they kept standing. They didn't fall. They got STRONGER. Abolition doesn't threaten empire. It might deepen its hold. Abolition demands nothing of anyone. It is an economic program like all the others. The state keeps standing. Abolition is a lie.
