    In exploring these questions, he provides what the publisher describes as “a clear and comprehensive account of why and how the police – the linchpin of capitalism – function and exist”, ultimately presenting “a clear case for the abolition of policing and capitalism”.

    The linchpin of capitalism? It is not, Hossam. And ‘the’ not even ‘a’ linchpin? That demolished the Marxist analysis of capitalism.
    It is a tool, an instrument of the capitalist state. Previous states had similar tools of class repression.
    The private ownership of the means of production and the generating profit /surplus value is the linchpin of capitalism.
