Cops where also bastards in socialist states. They just defended a different ruling class
A ruling class that was / is hoarding wealth though, unless there is an example I'm not thinking of I think it still fits.
Also we are talking root cause, so still a fit. Modern policing originates from capitalism and the protection of capital, so it works in that way as well.
I'm still good with my answer
I just wanted to add that because many people tend to believe that the police will be "good" when socialist or communists take over the state.
Oh, gotcha
Definitely in agreement on that, there would still be the issues I mentioned to start regardless of their origination, but especially if they are modeled on the current design
