Campus anarchist group: All cops ‘deserve to die’

In a stunning series of tweets, a Texas State University anarchist group declared that all cops “deserve to die,” and that “one of the best cures for the crisis at the border, is to remove the border entirely.” They also retweeted a post saying, “cops drive around LOOKING for trouble.”

Accompanying the tweet stating that “all cops deserve to die” is a text picture reading, “What I mean when I say ‘all cops are bastards’ is -literally every single cop is complicit and participating in a system designed to uphold the capitalist oligarchy we live under and thus all cops are guilty of that systems sins Fuck all cops.”

According to the group’s Facebook page, the group advocates for a “world without capitalists, MLM’s, injustice,” and adheres to “Libertarian Socialist” principles. In February, the group was known as “Athenian Youth,” and made a brief appearance on Texas State’s campus.

Members of the group stood near a small booth bearing both an Antifa flag and the flag of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation, a left-wing revolutionary political and militant group, and one figure appeared to be wearing a paramilitary uniform.

Similarly, AnMarcos has also tweeted that police are “violent thug mercenaries for the ruling capitalist class,” calling them “our enemy.”

Red Alert Politics reached out to AnMarcos to clarify the organization’s comments.

“We of course do not advocate cop killing, as it is true that some of the individuals who are underneath the badge are wonderful people. However, once they put on the badge they become the illegitimate thug for those in power, enacting their laws and whims as they see fit,” a spokesman for AnMarcos stated.

“It would be more proper to call a police officer a terrorist than many other groups that word is applied to, seeing as they lurk in our communities with the task of instilling fear into the populace and not one iota of ‘serving and protecting’ anyone except the ruling capitalist class,” the spokesman continued.

Additionally, the group compared Trump supporters to Nazis, tweeting a picture of a bayonet pointed at a man wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat contrasted with a Nazi, along with the slogan, “We Beat ‘Em Before… We’ll Beat ‘Em Again!”

“Yes we do equate the Trump administration and their followers to neo-Nazis, as many of them are explicitly that,” the AnMarcos spokesman told Red Alert Politics, adding, “And some try a step further as calling themselves other things such as ‘conservative, libertarian, ancap, white supremacist, white nationalist, nationalist, American, patriotic.’”
