The sidebar says all cops are bastards, but since most people here are leftists, what makes cops in socialist countries different? If most people here support socialist cops, then shouldn’t it be all capitalist cops are bastards?

I think the “bastardness” of cops is in direct correlation with inequality: more inequality invariably means more brutality is needed to enforce that inequality.
As an anarchist, I’m skeptical of the notion of “socialist states” since in my books socialism is worker ownership of the means of production. The state might claim that it represents the will of the workers, and so state ownership is the same as worker ownership, but believing that claim is incredibly naive imo.
