when the american bourgeoisie say “political violence” they of course mean violence directed at the bourgeoisie. What about violence directed at the working class, the marginalized, the homeless? These forms of violence are “apolitical” in their opinion. The system is on autopilot and functioning as intended. Politics is only political when it ceases to do what they want.
Advocating for murder of minorities, doing politics right. As long as they’re not actively doing the killing it is all ok.
The republicans don’t really give a shit either way when it comes to actively doing the killing, but the political spectrum of the US other than the ‘left wing extremists’ are also completely ok with it as long as you’re not actively pulling the trigger.
Even on a moral standpoint. All violence is acceptable so long as it’s “not intentional”.
“Millions of poor people have their lives ruined? Buh…buh…it’s just business! Nothing personal! Sure you poor people are going to die, but my weapons are refusing to hire and working together with the rich to get the best deal possible on both high rents and having you work for as free as possible! I hurt you all the fair and square way! Nothing personal!”

“Nobody panics when things go “according to plan.” Even if the plan is horrifying! Something something no panic something something lose mind”

Engels commented on this in 1845
“That’s just the way the world works!”
Obligatory something something according to plan
