Black Lives Matter: Marxist to the Core<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The three co-founders of BLM are Marxists to the core. According to the Capital Research Center, all three worked for front groups of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, one of the largest radical Left organizations in the country. Opal Tometi actively promotes Socialism and anti-Western socio-economics, while Patrisse Khan-Cullors has publicly stated that the leaders of BLM are \u201ctrained Marxists.\u201d Even so, it is highly likely that most active members and supporters of BLM are not Marxists at all, but simply believe they are fighting for social justice. The various chapters and voices of BLM don\u2019t always share consistent goals, but what they have in common is a general anger toward the government and its most visible arm, the police.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Antifa: Culturally Marxist<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

In the United States, Antifa is an anarchist group of mostly young people dissatisfied with various political and economic issues. Like BLM, they have espoused a wide array of objectives across the country and through time. They nominally believe that the country is heading toward Fascism and tout the election of President Trump and his \u201cAmerica First\u201d platform as an example of that. Their initial radical anti-globalism and anti-capitalist rhetoric in the 1980\u2019s, however, only got them so far into the public\u2019s awareness. In joining the anti-racist cause, they greatly legitimized their movement and expanded their opportunities for activism. Antifa is not shy about its Marxist roots either; they have merely modified the traditional conflict of workers versus the owners of capital to \u201cidentity conflicts\u201d based upon race, gender, sexual orientation, and the like.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The cynical manipulation of "useful idiots" by people whose concern is not black lives but socialist revolution<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The organizers who manipulate these groups are without a doubt dedicated to their Socialist movement. They are sustained by people who may or may not support\u2014or even know\u2014their true objectives. It doesn\u2019t matter what the masses believe, as long as they can be worked into a frenzy as needed. The leaders don\u2019t really care whether the police are targeting black Americans\u2014it\u2019s only important that their supporters believe it.<\/span><\/p>\n

In essence, the vast majority of BLM and Antifa members, as well as vocal celebrities, college and high school activists, and, yes, Bishop Doherty, make up what are commonly known as the \u201cuseful idiots.\u201d That is, they are propagandizing for a cause without really understanding the cause\u2019s objectives. They are cynically used by shrewd leaders to achieve an end state that they may have never intended. This is especially dangerous as we get closer to our national elections. The goal is to keep these people blind to the truth for as long as possible, or better yet, to eventually indoctrinate them into the cause as true Socialists. They are evil, and they are doing exactly what Father Rothrock stated in his message.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
