"We actually do have an ideological frame... we are trained Marxists."
Patrisse Cullors, Co-Founder, Black Lives Matter
Chilling. Look up the other two co-founders, also Marxists.
On their website, Black Lives Matter (BLM) doesn’t state that they are Marxists but co-founder Patrisse Cullors during an interview with Real News Network clarified her organization’s Marxist goals. The dialog sadly lacked an element of outrage over the recent deaths of two black men, who died while resisting arrest. One was an outright murder and the other needs further scrutiny.
Look at history and the rise of two prominent students of Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin and Mao Zedong. One can discern some alarming similarities between the BLM/Antifa activists and Marx’s famous pupils’ campaigns to seize power by creating chaos and destruction.
They are atheists who used minority abuses to fuel their causes. They appeal to youth and inspire student protests. Fear and violence to accomplish goals are integral for their success. In Russia and China, the Marxist movement destroyed statues, burned, and banned books to erase history.
The Duluth, Minnesota school district said it was removing To Kill a Mockingbird and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, novels by Harper Lee and Mark Twain, from school syllabuses. The board feared that the authors’ use of racial slurs would make students feel "humiliated or marginalized” See any similarities to current events in view of the forgoing?
From the gulags in Russia, to the death camps in North Korea, the killing fields of Cambodia, and the Cultural Revolution in China, Marxism has been one of the most brutal killing machines in history.
A 16-foot statue of Vladimir Lenin, that devoted follower of Karl Marx and the father of the communist Soviet Union remains standing in Seattle…unharmed, not defaced. Why? Go figure.
Meanwhile, statues of Ulysses Grant, Christopher Columbus, Francis Scott Key, Father Junipero Serra and others not associated with the Confederate States leadership have been pulled down or defaced. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi removed portraits from the United States Capital building of Former Speakers who had ties to the Old South. Various Presidents and Senators have worked with or been segregationists, anti-Semites, and clearly bigoted against various ethnic groups throughout the 240-year history of this nation. Should we remove all their statues and memorials?
We all know that Thomas Jefferson kept slaves, but does that make the Declaration of Independence, which he wrote, inconsequential, of no importance? Does the Nation’s capital need to be renamed because George Washington owned slaves? The indignation we see borders on illogical madness.
Recently Dr. Ben Carson, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development stated “We must recognize that we have a history, and to hide that history is probably not a smart move. Smart people, wise people use their history to improve. Other kinds of people try to bury their history.”
Is the current anarchy really about black lives? Over Father’s Day weekend in Chicago, there was a record number of people shot, 101, 14 were killed. The overwhelming majority were black. Among the dead was a 3-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl, who died while watching television in her home. Was there widespread media coverage? Nope. Did any mainstream media journalist report that the BLM movement was outraged over this senseless violence? Nope.
Instead, they remained focused on the crowd size of President Donald Trump’s rally in Tulsa, and whether the use of the Chinese app TicTok influenced the number of attendees. The major media outlets also failed to report an expression of outrage to the killings from Joe Biden’s somnolescent campaign. Wait a minute…there wasn’t one coming from his Delaware basement.
Removing the face of a black woman off a syrup bottle or changing the brand name of a rice product won't stop racism. A Marxist revolution fomented by these BLM radicals won’t either. Education and historical perspective will.
There is ample historic proof that Marxism does not serve or benefit humanity in any way, shape, or form. Let’s not erase that history but learn from it as Dr. Carson said.
