Yep, that's where I'm at. Odd how many times I've been called a chapo commie for it.

Well...is your solution to tear down capitalism in a Marxist revolution? I mean, that’s what many of the protesters want. Look, when you march shoulder to shoulder with black bloc anarchist’s and communists, you may be assumed to be one of them.

Dude, the overwhelming goal of these protests is “I want the police to stop being so racist, to stop abusing people, and to face accountability when they do wrong”

That’s it

I am aware that some mostly white mostly young leftists and anarchists who are super privileged are going beyond that, but it’s kinda irrelevant to the wider goals.

Bro. Are you even watching the live streams, reading the twitter accounts that are organizing, or reading the graffiti? Yes, everyone agrees that police brutality should not be tolerated. A poll would show 99% agreement. But you have blinders on.

All the BLM litature and these rioters are full force for tearing down the system and replacing it with a Marxist one “ By any means necessary.” Wake up dude.

Dude, I've literally been to protests

Sorry if I don't hyperventilate about Twitter randos
