      There's Marxists in BLM, but it's like too decentralized to have an ideology. The "official" national one is probably lib, from what I heard it basically functions like any other NGO.

        America is overrun with liberalism and the black community is as awash in capitalist propaganda as any other.

        Meanwhile, Glenn Beck thinks John McCain is a Marxist, so... shrug

          A lot of the organizers of the Ferguson uprising were genuinely radical, but they got overtaken in the national press by more careerist activist figures like Deray McKesson

      It’s in the name. BLM actually stands for Black Marxist-Leninists, but they switched the L and the M to throw off the feds and came up with Black Lives Matter as a cover-up.
