A stretch? One of their founders literally came out and said “we are Marxist”.

Do you think that applies to everyone involved in the movement? I very much don't.

Do you think they're actually aiming to replace the federal government? I'm sure they'd like to, but I doubt they expect to.

If you read their website it’s like the new communist manifesto - they literally want to burn down the country and destroy “white culture”. Those people are the enemy of civilized society.

OK, I don't know where you're getting this from.

I don't see anything about that.

It is a stretch that BLM is Marxist. No goalposts are in motion. I highly doubt you could put even a large minority of it in that bucket.

And you never did point out where their website advocates tearing the country down.

Their website is full of neo-Marxist drivel like "dismantling the western prescribed nuclear family".

And they mention in the same section that this means they regularly associate with more-extended family. The horror.

Yet, you're still happy to defend them. I'm starting to get the idea you simply share their ideology.

sigh I approach policy as a libertarian and arrive at roughly centrist conclusions. No, I'm just sick of people vilifying each other rather than attempting to see how they can both be satisfied.
