Ive seen many comments criticizing looting in Ferguson. As this article pointed out, for most of America’s history, one of the most righteous anti-white supremacist tactics available was looting. Please give this a read and start to understand it in a much bigger and broader context. 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. Looting is extremely dangerous to the rich (and most white people) because it reveals, with an immediacy that has to be moralized away, that the idea of private property is just that: an idea, a tenuous and contingent structure of consent, backed up by the lethal force of the state.
