Continue reading #StuttgartRiots: “More an more people seem to have enough of authoritarian state measures, racism and its forces of order”The mystifying ideological claim that looting is violent and non-political is one that has been carefully produced by the ruling class because it is precisely the violent maintenance of property which is both the basis and end of their power.
