@Webb,
Quote:
You've repeatedly shown me with your words that you're a radical, extreme leftist.
I doubt that.
Quote:I also don't care if you approve of them or not.
What you "care" is of little interest or importance.
Quote:
I think it's pretty obvious that you're a Marxist yourself, so of course you're going to defend other Marxist groups.
That doesn't make any sense. Were I a "Marxist" how does my contention that the people in the street demonstrating and protesting under the BLM banner are not "Marxists" amount to a "defense of other Marxist groups"?

Here's a video that shows the founder of BLM admitting that BLM in fact is a Marxist group
As I said, the people in the street demonstrating and protesting under the BLM banner are not "Marxists". You ask those people why they're there and they'll tell you "the killing has to stop" or something like that. As far as the founder's words go, like many other radicals, the organizers have piggy-backed their protest onto the aching, groaning corpus of world socialism and communism. So we have the guy in your video claiming that Mussolini was a Marxist.
Anybody can call anyone a "Marxist" and anyone can claim to be a "Marxist" — for the right, the term has simply become a universal label that they apply to any political group they don't like. For the left, it's a catchword which designates that beneath the emotional expression and rage there's a theoretical basis somewhere. The founder claims she's a "trained Marxist" — who trained her? What did this training consist of? How long was it undertaken? Does she have some sort of diploma that says that the "International Order of Marxists and Latter-Day Troublemakers recognizes Patrisse Cullors as a member in good standing after successfully completing her training as a Marxist"?
Quote:I suppose if you told me that the sky was red and I pointed your eyes to it and showed you that it's in fact blue, that wouldn't be enough for you either?
Not the same thing at all, as red and blue are physical properties that can be easily distinguished and I wouldn't be claiming that the sky was red in the first place, unless it were during a sunset or maybe a volcanic eruption. Anyway, Webb is more likely to be the one seeing red.
Quote:Black Lives Matter (BLM) is an organized movement favoring non-violent civil disobedience in protest against alleged incidents of police brutality against Afro-American people.[2] An organization known simply as "Black Lives Matter"[a] exists as a decentralized network with over 30 chapters worldwide, while a larger Black Lives Matter movement exists consisting of various separate like-minded organizations such as Dream Defenders and Assata's Daughters. The broader movement and its related organizations typically advocate against police violence towards black people, as well as for various other policy changes considered to be related to black liberation.[7]
In 2013, the movement began with the use of the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter on social media after the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of African-American teen Trayvon Martin in February 2012. The movement became nationally recognized for street demonstrations following the 2014 deaths of two African Americans: Michael Brown—resulting in protests and unrest in Ferguson, a city near St. Louis—and Eric Garner in New York City.[8][9] Since the Ferguson protests, participants in the movement have demonstrated against the deaths of numerous other African Americans by police actions and/or while in police custody. In the summer of 2015, Black Lives Matter activists became involved in the 2016 United States presidential election.[10] The originators of the hashtag and call to action, Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi, expanded their project into a national network of over 30 local chapters between 2014 and 2016.[11] The overall Black Lives Matter movement, however, is a decentralized network and has no formal hierarchy.
