In interview in 2015 Patrise Cullors, BLM’s co-founder said the following:
The first thing is we actually do have an ideal ideological frame. We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on ideological theories.
Marxism, to remind anyone, is not compatible with democratic systems of government, nor is meant to be. It is by definition a system of one-party totalitarian rule, with no tolerance for the existence of an opposition, and run of course by the Marxists. This relates by the way very much as to why incredibly wealthy elements can be pushing these kind of ideologies which one might be imagining should be coming from and serving the materially more disadvantaged. It is rather a means of total rule by the few, in alliance with and via the state, over the many.
Naturally you will, if you do a little search, find yourself being informed that it is ridiculously shallow to consider the political group BLM as Marxist simply because the group founder described themselves as founded in ideology, and in the next breath that they are trained Marxists. You will be told it is all about emotional truth, and anyone not in agreement with the beauty of the group can only be an evil bigot, which goes back to the line from Dostoevsky’s revolutionary character Pyotr Verkhovensky: “You know with us, socialism spreads mostly through sentimentality.”
