Because we know that under Capitalism, it only functions as a mercenary protection force for the private property of the bourgeoisie and suppressor of the workers' dissent.

P.S. Primarily looking for books and long form videos. Essays, articles, and discussions are also welcome.

Not sure if this book may help but Anna Louise Strong, through her book "The Soviet World", explains how the bodies within the socialist state suppressed sabotage:

These policies—the normal reaction of a workers’ government wishing to rebuild the economic life of a ruined country with as little upheaval and disruption as possible, for the sake not of profit but of human welfare—united around the government the overwhelming majority of the population, including both workers and peasants. Opposition came from landlords, capitalists and the upper strata of engineers, civil servants and professional people; but if these used violence or sabotage against the new policy, they were suppressed by governing organizations composed of great masses of the common people.

Maybe, that book could offer something useful to you.
