    We're already at the point of erasing culture and history. Maybe that point is next.

      Exactly. We have signs of (practical) Marxism tactics. The actual history has to be removed (like has been done in American education and the removal of statues) in order for the Marxist religion to recreate a new history.

      My concerns are in evidence in our country, not some irrational hypothetical fear.

        However, that should not prevent us striving towards those respective ideals.

              One might make exactly the same observation over the long and bloody history of Christianity and the behaviour of nations that consider themselves to be "Christian".

              However, within Christianity [as with most religions] there are humane and compassionate precepts and ideals. That the majority of Christians and their leaders have invariably failed to adhere to those is another matter.

                And yet somehow after killing most of the Indians, their history and culture remain. The only true way to erase culture and history is to completely eradicate ethnicities.

                What culture and history has been erased that you would like restored?

                  Most of that was in direct contradiction with the explicit teachings of Christ and the New Testament. How does slaughtering millions violate Marxism? What Marxist moral principles speak to that issue?
                  Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

                    So you are equating Marxism with a religion? Interesting.

                    I will readily admit that we as fallable Christians do not always follow the ideals and teachings of our Lord Jesus. I will also admit that we will never see those ideals accomplished until Jesus returns. But we do try and many times succeed in caring and compassion and taking care of the needy, etc.

                    Marxism on the other hand never even tries to fulfill these ideals you claim they represent. They have never even come close to those ideals. So I am not questioning the shared ideals themselves, but does Marxism really have those ideals in common with us at all? The only equality in Marxism is in misery. Everyone is equally miserable and poor. Except those at the top of course. The Elite Ruling class that Marxism claims they want to eliminate seems to be the first thing they instate and then use to oppress the people they claim they are helping. Marxism is a lie.

                      I would like to keep our Constitutional Republic that they're either trying to smear as evil or attempting to eradicate all together.

                          Just from a purely strategic standpoint, naming the organization Black Lives Matter and circulating it as a slogan was a brilliant move. That way it sounds really bad to say that you oppose it; especially when many people (as mentioned before) don't know that it's a specific organization.

                            Yup. Oldest Orwellian tactic of tyrants in the book. They all use the same evil strategies. Like calling an unconstitutional bill the Patriot Act, so anyone that opposes it is automatically not a patriot.

                              EGGzackly!!! And that's been the point of our discussions so far.

                              A) You can't speak bad about BLM
                              2) Every law enforcement officer I've ever talked to has a very bad opinion of BLM
                              C) If we're going to provide a united front, why use a vehicle that is so divisive?

                                One major difference is that it took centuries for that kind of behavior to be expressed by Christians whereas it pretty much starts at the founding of every Marxist state.
