    How so? The MSS is qualitatively different because it’s in support of socialism, not capitalism and imperialism. ICE is an anti-immigration service that is murdering Statesian protestors as we speak simply for opposing open fascism and protecting their neighbors. Equating the two based on the fact that both are security services used by states, and ignoring which class each state serves, is how you make false comparisons.

    To use an analogy, your logic equates unions with capitalist cartels, because both are forms of class organization. Without analyzing the class character, and focusing purely on the form, we lose sight of which is progressive and which is reactionary.
