Re: <nettime> the necropolitics of the BLM uprising?

Many Thanks Steve, 
and great to see the list being used in this way again.

I’m looking for clarification on whether I am right on a distinction 
that I think you are making. Sorry if I am being stupid:

Is a key distinction between 
1. an uprising to resist oppression in which (CAE) argue sacrifice 
of the innocent is acceptable and
2. the concept of a ‘just war’ (e.g. the Bush/Blaire Middle East wars)
in which, innocent deaths are completely unacceptable ?

If so are there any circumstances in which CAE would support a state  
military action or intervention other that as defenders (e.g. WW2). 

Would it for example be acceptable for a state to intervene to prevent 
genocide? Would that fall under the category of a ‘just war’ which CAE 
could never endorse ?
