Nuanced takes? Saying BLM is representative of "social fascism," as laid out in theory that was subject to contemporary criticism in the 1930's and seems 100% incorrect in retrospect, is not a nuanced take. It's shoehorning a spontaneous antiracist movement, with no clear leadership (much less social democratic leadership), into a bullshit theory that analyzed organized social democratic politics, which is not even the same phenomenon as the spontaneous mass BLM protests.
How seriously do you want me to engage with these ideas? They're truly awful, reactionary garbage in my sincere opinion. It has nothing to do with feels beyond that I don't like to see people pretend to do marxist analysis to prop up hack, reactionary takes on US class politics.
There is zero actual analysis of the conditions that the movement came from, zero analysis of the role racism plays in US capitalism, zero analysis of the multiple and competing forces at play, zero analysis of the course of development, zero analysis of perspectives for intervention by marxists, zero Marxist analysis in any sense. Purely mechanical, categorical thinking, and no semblance of dialectical analysis. Just plug and play with the "theory" of social fascism.
If you think that is serious Marxism, I don't know what to tell you, besides you need to go back and start from the basics.
