Aside from the obvious repressive capacity of policing deployed against our class and the party of anarchy, policing (by extension the investigation of the ICI[1]) affirms legality, legitimacy, and the party of order. As a method of organized disorganization, it tells citizens that the system works.

Legality, legitimacy, policing... all these things characterize the two wings of the party of order: the party of the existent and the party of its false critics. Hence this is why the party of anarchy needs to be red-tagged or black-baited, because it is through the anti-political that they act outside the bounds of legality and legitimacy.
