They are only angry now because they stopped being surreptitious and started attacking white citizens as well. ICE doesn't exist because the system is broken and the democracy is in threat. ICE exist because it is working exactly how it's supposed be.

Abolishing the capitalist state should be our minimum demand!

While I get the point you're trying to make, how would maintaining bourgeois law in any way be eugenics, seeing as the lower classes disproportionately have the most children and are more likely to become parents at younger ages? Eugenics isn't the right word here seeing as the mass-propagation of the working classes is necessary for the continued supremacy of a capitalist system.

Culling the working classes is counterintuitive to capitalist ends.

The higher classes, the owners of capital, have better diets, easier access to healthcare, and avoid many mental suffering that the working class goes through. By eugenics, I mean something closer to behavior, environmental rather than anything inborn. The rich consider themselves as naturally superior to others. They regard the lower classes to be an inferior species. This is why the “middle class” (mainly professionals) of a global south country is vulnerable to a color revolution. These classes relate to Western monopoly capital, not just because of similar interests but also due to similarities in consciousness. Liberals, as a class, have a consciousness opposed to proletarian consciousness. There are multiple classes with a respective consciousness. We can't speak of class consciousness as if only one exists. And the point is not genocide of the workers but to solidify their consciousness, to make them believe in an innate inferiority and thus cement the status quo and class hierarchy.

That makes sense, however wouldn't that simply be a form of class supremacy? Eugenics as a concept includes the practice of culling those groups deemed inferior and undeserving of propagation, which is why I'm saying that I'm not sure that that's the proper word in this situation. That's why racialized violence racial against minority populations is seen as ideological racial supremacy, yet isn't classified as eugenics unless additional measures such as sterilization, forced abortion, child separation, genocide, or other culling measures are used to whittle down the target population, as was seen in the United States with Black populations, and Nazi Germany with Jewish and disabled populations.

Sorry for the questions, this is a very pedantic line of inquiry over the application of a single word. I understand what you were trying to get across in your original message.
