  Right. BLM has absolutely nothing to do with a Marxist organisation. How are they planning to seize industry, means of production, and institute a dictatorship of the proletariat? So no, they are not Marxist (note that them not being a Marxist organisation does not preclude some Marxist people to be part of it). “Marxist” is not a label you put on things you don’t like. Besides, the parent post mentioned “far more act of political violence and destruction”, which you did not address at all. Pointing out that one group did some material damage tells nothing if you don’t look at what the other did. The vast majority of terror events, both in the US and in Europe, are due to either white supremacists or Muslim fundamentalists. You can start with these sources. They cover 2 years, but you’ll have pointers for the rest of the last 2 decades: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/22/white-supremacists-rightwing-domestic-terror-2020 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/22/white-supremac... https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/12/us/politics/domestic-terror-white-supremacists.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/12/us/politics/domestic-terr...

    > BLM has absolutely nothing to do with a Marxist organisation That's not true https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/jul/21/black-lives-matter-marxist-movement/ https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/jul/21/black-lives-m... > How are they planning to seize industry, means of production, and institute a dictatorship of the proletariat? So no, they are not Marxist By promoting Marxism and gain public support by exploiting otherwise legitimate redress of grievances. You seem to make the point that just because they don't have the means to do it now doesn't means most of the organization doesn't espouse these views, which is ridiculous. > Besides, the parent post mentioned “far more act of political violence and destruction”, which you did not address at all. Pointing out that one group did some material damage tells nothing if you don’t look at what the other did. More than two billions of damage in insurance claims is not something that goes unnoticed. People who makes the claim that there are "far-right terrorists" roaming about and causing widespread mayhem and terror can't point to nothing else than a few handful specific events that are nothing of the same scale in terms of damage and scale. > The vast majority of terror events, both in the US and in Europe, are due to either white supremacists or Muslim fundamentalists. Radical Islam and the "far-right" doesn't really go together, that's doesn't really make sense to even consider put them up together. But radical Islam i soften using the rhetorical devices of the Left against European culture however.
