Politicians make the laws, if people are being oppressed, its more of the politicians being the root cause of evil.

So… ACAB + APAB?

EDIT:

I’m using these definitions for the word politician: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/politician

    No, for the simple reason that some (yes, definitely not enough) politicians are trying to actually do good things, and they can do good things, in theory. Cops are bad because they’re enforcers of any and all laws, and nobody has purely good laws, and they’re specifically in the business of protecting property over lives, restricting peoples’ freedoms/etc.

    The only case where all politicians are bad is in pure, actual communism, which cannot exist at this point in history.
