Black Lives Matter's Violent, Marxist Agenda

Black Lives Matter's anti-police brutality crusade obscures violent, Marxist agenda

Beyond Black Lives Matter’s drive to eliminate police brutality is a far more extensive leftist ideology that would upend American economic and social life, according to an examination of BLM leaders’ writings and interviews.

BLM’s principal founders have sought guidance from Karl Marx, Mao Zedong and Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro. One talks of the “psychosis of whiteness.”

BLM leaders say they want capitalism abolished. Sixty years since the civil rights era began, America is still a place where the state routinely oppresses Blacks, as the world seeks their “demise,” the group alleges.

“Black Lives Matter is an ideological and political intervention in a world where Black lives are systematically and intentionally targeted for demise,” the BLM website says.

BLM’s leader in Greater New York talks of pending violence.

“If this country doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it,” Hawk Newsome said on Fox News.

BLM’s Philadelphia leader wants the police department gone and prisons emptied in five years.

Wow. This is delusional when applied to the people of the European countries. I don't think that Blacks in European and American countries are targeted in any large or systemic way for demise (unless we include the work by BLM which likely puts Black lives at risk).

However, I cannot fully discard this point with respect to treatment of African countries. Vaccines have been used in Africa that cause sterility. There are attempts to thwart farming in African countries through artificially cheaper imported food.

Then let these anarchist morons go there and fight!

I wanted to address the statement as it applied to the US and UK. Then I realized there was some truth to what they said. Because without that recognition, it may seem we are blind to any possibility that Blacks could be targeted.

I suppose we could also include Planned Parenthood and the welfare system as destroying Black lives. Somehow, I don't think he was referring to those.

No sir, in order to be part of the left, you must worship at the altar of the abortion clinic.

I want to know exactly what prison abolition is going to look like in the real world. Do these people genuinely believe that with enough access to resources and mental health care, all crime will evaporate?

I saw a liberal graphic going around offering alternative phone numbers for various things instead of calling the police. Some of them were good ideas (it would probably be better to call a mental health care expert than the police in many cases if somebody you know is having a mental crisis), but one of the categories was "violence". If there's a violent act in progress, calling some random number from a Facebook graphic instead of the police is a horrible idea. We had a black neighbor who held his son hostage and we could hear it through the walls once. I don't care if some random person thinks it's "racist to call the police on POC". We called the police and the boy was taken to safety. Doing otherwise would have put a black life in harm.

I'm proud our our PD - we always have a "mental health" officer on every shift - a police officer with an actual degree in a relevant social science - who is to be called to any scene where it's even suspected that we have an mental health issue. Other officers are to simply "maintain order" until the MHO arrives. And, we have always have a judge on call who can authorize mental health agencies to intervene, when needed.

It was because of this that i was able to, with confidence, convince my own daughter to turn herself into the police when she got really violent and emotionally unstable. That was, what... TWO YEARS ago, now, and she's healthy and lively and serving the Lord with gladness.

If black lives matter to Black Lives Matter then they would focus on reducing things like the black on black homicide rate in places like Chicago.

CP, I'm genuinely worried about your mental health declining from reading these insane articles.

If you've changed news sources in your retirement or something, it's not working well for you. You used to be a reasonably likeable guy, but now you're posting daily really extremist opinion pieces that tend to contain mostly false facts. Be careful not to naively believe what you're reading and wrongly get worked up about it. Pretty much all of what the articles say in pretty much all the threads you've posted lately, seems to be false, and the opinions expressed in them seem to be really, really, extremist.

Thanks, that gave me a laugh.

I find this page a useful aggregator of leftist headlines and articles: www.reddit.com/r/politics/
Every thread there (apart from stickied and ads) has to be a headline and link to a news article. The posters are left-leaning so they upvote article they like / find interesting from their leftist perspectives.

I suggest you include looking at the page just to browse the headlines it lists (no need to read the articles themselves or the comments on them, necessarily, though I find doing both occasionally to be informative) every couple of days into your media diet, just so you can have an idea of what leftists in general think the state of affairs is. Then when you read the articles you post here you'll have an idea about what parts might be controversial and why.

Honestly, I really don't care what you think on any subject any time.

I just don't.
