Class warfare is alive and well in the UK, the wealthy continue to oppress through state violence while they outlaw peaceful protest. If you outlaw the peaceful way that just leaves the other thing.
That’s why they spent decades running the “war on terror” angle. To make the working class believe violence against oppressors is never justified.
Meanwhile the government has a monopoly on violence, and uses it whenever the political class, oligarchs, or corporations are threatened.
It’s always the people in power who say the time for violence is over.
Nevermind how they got that power. Don’t think about that.
“Why does it seem like the ones who have everything have nothing inside?”
Because all of their self-worth is derived from being served by others.
Once you take away their servants, they have nothing to offer and they know it.
