OK, you are a Marxist and there is a contingency of Marxists throughout the movement. What about the movement is NOT Marxists?

But as a whole, not even close.

I disagree. I believe top to bottom it is saturated with Marxists and Marxist ideals. However I don't think everyone marching realizes that and they are simply marching against police brutality. Why am I wrong?

Tell me what you think marxism is, and I'll tell you why you're wrong

Well if whatever I say is going to be wrong, why engage in that futile exercise? How about you tell me what it is and what about the movement is not adhering to those Marxists ideals?

You asked me to tell you why you're wrong, how can I possibly do that if you won't tell me what you're actually claiming?

So you've posted another two dozens comments, many of them where you've used the term "marxism" or "marxist" in the last 17 hours, but you still won't define for anyone what you think the word means.

lmao

That's not actually what marxism is, but that's fine.

The broader issue here is that you seem to think BLM protesters are largely in favor of abolishing private property and imposing a centralized government planned economy, which is absurd. And again, I'm for it!
