Republican tells Native American to go back where you came from

OK at least two out of the three founders are self proclaimed Marxists.

Links?
Do they define the movement?

Lookie here, I find BLM to be rife with ignorance,
hostility, corruption, & good intentions.
But I'm seeing criticism for conservatives & Magas
that leaps to easily to making them out to be a
Marxist organization. It's lazy & possibly wrong.

I looked this up several days ago and don't want to look it up again.

Oh hell, here you go:

"We do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia, in particular, are trained organizers; we are trained Marxists. We are superversed on, sort of, ideological theories. And I think what we really try to do is build a movement that could be utilized by many, many Black folks."

We didn’t find that Garza and Tometi have referred to themselves as Marxists. But the book publisher Penguin Random House has said Garza, an author, "describes herself as a queer social justice activist and Marxist

There was nothing he said that could be agreed or disagreed with - he just acted like a twat.

And - yes - I think her greivance was ****. It's pathetic that he chose to act like a toddler rather than responding to low hanging fruit.

was her personal experience in dealing with discrimination pathetic?

the problem with labeling BLM as Marxist is that none of the policies are Marxist

I'm just skeptical that these few people
characterize the entire BLM movement.
Also, when I hear people discuss it, Marxism
is never the subject.
Do you believe that BLM is about Marxism?
In what way?

It seems to me an attempt to dismiss BLM
as entirely because of this tenuous connection.
You're not advocating or defending institutional
racism against blacks, so why make it about
something to demonize them all?

And you have to be told what people want of you? Also, what is the Far Left?

What's the far right?

We don't need political action to be told what to do. If you need someone to tell you how to be a good person and show you how then you probably aren't.
We don't need others to tell us to broaden our horizons, we can do that on our own. But too many think they know it all and know the best and dismiss other ways as inferior.

As the questions about far left and far right, I don't know, maybe these terms irrelevant. I'm just trying to indicate a certain polarity of attitudinal tones. It could be the ups verses the diagonals, or the far greens vs. the purples for all care. Wherever it is that the these two classes of competing views seem to exist

But I think that in the long run, people sort of probably need to be told what to do , until is quite certain that they don't. And during that process, maybe they can still actually have great freedoms. Maybe there is plenty that is of no consequence.

I think what you wrote there in the last quote, is at the crux of many modern issues. It shows a contradiction: there are egotistical people who probably need to be shown how to be 'good.' But per your last sentence there, there are also valid subjective ways of doing things where judgement shouldn't play a large role

What does that have to do with anything I've said?

Nothing good starts out thus.

Well good thing I was somewhat insincere.

apologies, my bad, you used the word **** to describe Trish Carter-Goodheart's personal experiences of discrimination not pathetic
