What the Black Lives Matter movement really is

July 12, 2020 By John R. Anderson

Based on the research I've conducted, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) organization/movement is likely not what most people think it is.  Here are a few verified ideas to consider.

One may think of the BLM movement as a "grassroots" movement.  According to the BLM website, BLM is a "global organization active in US, UK, and Canada."  The website, Influence Watch, points out that George Soros, a Hungarian-born liberal with a net worth of $25.2 billion, is a major contributor to BLM, having donated "at least $33 million."  The same website states that since 2013, groups associated with the BLM movement have taken in $133 million.

On another point, it appears that BLM is rooted in Marxist philosophy.  From the New York Post (06/25/20), Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors describes herself and her co-organizer of BLM as "a trained Marxist."  The article goes on to say Cullors was a protégé of Eric Mann and that she "spent years" with him "absorbing the Marxist-Leninist ideology that shaped her worldview."

Consider what this might mean for the USA if BLM pushes its agenda and platform.  According to Investopedia, Marxism argues for a worker revolution to overturn capitalism in favor of communism.  Furthermore, Marxism is against the nuclear family in that it teaches a hierarchical system and keeps money within groups (families), opposed to distributed wealth.  The website ReviseSociology explains, "Marxists argue that the nuclear family performs ideological functions for Capitalism — the family acts as a unit of consumption and teaches passive acceptance of hierarchy.  It is also the institution through which the wealthy pass down their private property to their children, thus reproducing class inequality."  Furthermore, the website Brainscape points out, "[Marxists] dispute the idea that the way families are organized benefits everyone.  The website goes on to say, "[R]ather [Marxism] argue[s] that the family like many other institutions in capitalist societies, serves to maintain the power of those with wealth and preserve the existing economic system.".............To Read More.....
