Most prominent among these is the Black Lives Matter movement, whose statement posted yesterday blamed Cuba's economic troubles on the United States embargo and hailed the Cuban regime's "solidarity with oppressed peoples of African descent." According to the BLM statement, "The people of Cuba are being punished by the U.S. government because the country has maintained its commitment to sovereignty and self-determination. United States leaders have tried to crush this Revolution for decades." Preposterously, the statement also accuses the U.S. of "undermining Cubans' right to choose their own government."
Marxism is not a political or economic theory. It is a formula for seizing control of resources and power. The nonsense about smashing patriarchies and the laughable study groups by fellow-traveler professors on the labor theory of value are all sideshows. The entire point of Marxism is apparent in what the Soviets used to call the “nomenklatura,” the secular elect. Marxism reshuffles the deck of any society and allows the worst, most craven elements to rise to the top. That, and that alone, is the reason that Marxism exists.
The Chinese Communist Party, the old Bolsheviks who used to crowd the Kremlin, the dictators of Cuba, Venezuela, and North Korea—these people are why Marxism was invented. Marxism is all about concentrating power and resources in the hands of a very few. Once that has been accomplished, then—and only then—can we really say that a movement is Marxist.

Good morning CIA and fight the good fight!
Well most here on this site know about Black Lives Matter. So here this out from a NEWSWEEK reporter. At least she had the ballz to write about it. To all you supporters of PRC here in the USA and abroad.
My opinion on the PRC today is as follows. For centuries your were a downtrodden country and people; but did the USA ever attempt to conquer you? No. Yet we and the world helped to get you up on your feet again and look at what you do to the entire world. A global takeover. So just why are you doing this when others never did so to you.
So now it appears that BLM is a manifestation of a PRC controlled propaganda machine.
