More Laws Mean More Police Brutality

Listen to the Audio Mises Wire version of this article.

One of the most perplexing displays of cognitive dissonance this year is the strong support for a large state can be found within the various protest movements that are targeting the issue of law enforcement misconduct. Logically, groups opposing police misconduct should also be strong supporters of the libertarian ideology. However, this does not appear to be the case. This movement, oddly enough, has quite a bit of overlap with support for gun control, the welfare state, and more regulation. The central organization, Black Lives Matters, is a fully Marxist entity.

Socialism, Marxism, communism, and other ideologies revolve around the strong or total domination of the state in everyday life. The state, as defined by Murray Rothbard in Anatomy of the State, is an “organization in society which attempts to maintain a monopoly of the use of force and violence in a given territorial area.” The way the state maintains authority within its jurisdiction is with the application of laws.

Quite the dilemma.   On one hand, the Marxist totalitarians just love the idea of government cracking down on the unruly peasants.  But... in order to have that revolution (cause, you know....Orange Man Bad)....  they must first have a "cause"... and the only cause they could dredge up (this time) is police brutality.  Yet another fake cause in a long line of fake causes pushed by the idiot left.  Meanwhile... for anyone with a working brain.... what the radical left is pushing equates to Illogic 101.   Typical, IOW.
