The crude reductionism of the anarchist approach of the recent "Open Letter" against Iran by left-liberal Trotskyite academics falsely assumes all states are bad and all systems of policing are bad, and is also hypocritical because many of these same academics endorsed Obama and Hillary Clinton who played large roles in strengthening the prison industrial complex in the US
The contradictions, hypocrisy, and reductionism of the "abolitionist" movement are addressed in this informative article. https://calla.substack.com/p/abolish-liberal-abolitionism
Iran is going to put Mossad and CIA spies in jail and these cushy American academics can keep crying about it.
