ACAB is an abolitionist slogan. People are not cops. People play the role of cop. Abolish the role of cop, the people remain. Similar to slave owner. We abolished private slave ownership without killing or imprisoning all of the slave owners.
ACAB says there is no cop that is worth keeping, that is to say every role from patrol to detective to chief to sherrif to SWAT to FBI... All the cops are bastards. Abolish the cops.
Never thought about it this way... especially in the context of slave ownership. Thanks for the new perspective.
