Wow, you actually consider this worldwide upheaval to be unsubstantial enough to identify as a ... minority?  Really?

Without a moments doubt.

So where do you get your news from?

Doubt you could provide any serious support for the ANTIFA/BLM comment.

 

Don't know if this will survive but here is the BLM founders saying they are Marxist trained. I might look more into ANTIFA later.

ANTIFA was formed as a communist organisation in Germany in the 1930s. There are lots of articles online expanding upon this topic but I doubt any of them would be allowed on this forum.

It is, however, quite easy to find Soviet flags and symbols displayed alongside the ANTIFA flag at rallies.

People can make up their own minds as to the deeper association.

More on why the Civil War related white supremacy monuments must go.

Your argument against ANTIFA is that they opposed nazis...what a bunch of *****.

What people can do is note that you fail to support any of your extreme claims with something resembling a credible source. If it was that obvious, it wouldn't have been a problem to demonstrate.

The question asked was "are ANTIFA and BLM Marxist?" 

My comment was neither for or against ANTIFA.

Once again you show that your comprehension skills need honing.

I didn't think I wrote anything extreme, and it certainly is not up to me what to allow as a source here on TVF. The word "credible" is often ascribed to mainstream media that have demonstrated over and over that they are indeed not credible. (that subject has been done to death on other threads and I have already provided many examples, so I will ignore any demand to restate them).

Have a nice day.

I did not think the post would survive, that is why I kept it separate from my words. It is a shame that the video showing one of the BLM founders actually speaking could not somehow be shown. I doubt that recording appears anywhere on the mainstream so you will just need to look for it yourself.

Take Them All Down. 

If you take them all down, then you need to start demolishing buildings throughout America

Then you need to rename Yale, Georgetown etc etc

It's a slippery slope that you don't seem able to mentally grasp

Not one of those cops will go down in a court of law

They did what they were trained to do...by the book 

 

Restraining the suspect on his or her abdomen (prone restraint) is a common tactic in ExDS situations, and the white paper used by the MPD instructs the officers to control the suspect until paramedics arrive.

Nah, that’s not what that post implied.

I’ve no problem with renaming places. 
 

Demolishing buildings, that’s just hyperbole.

In other words, you cannot produce any alternative source to what you term "mainstream media", which gets out news that aren't sensational, well-researched and not involving conspiracy theories. I'm not here to sing the praises of this or that media source, and I do not idolize any of them. All got their fair share of bias, mistakes and nonsense. Most of these you term "mainstream" are less prone to these sort of things, or are more open to acknowledging faults in reporting.

Hyperbole as in no buildings were demolished so far. In the context of monument and statues being taken down etc. maybe not all that far-fetched. Renaming is not much of an issue.

I seriously doubt buildings will be demolished. Not seeing that to be honest.

Well the mob beat up a openly gay, extremely liberal Democrat yesterday

Who'd have thunk that a few weeks ago?

Homophobia is every where amongst all political groups and I have nothing but the utmost contempt for bigoted scum who hold such vile prejudices.

I’m confused that anyone would be so crass as to use homophobic behaviour as an argument against protesting racism. 

[Canuck1966]

The mob takes no prisoners!

you should read some history, nothing changed without protest, and I don't mean the walking around asking for permission kind of protest. You should also read MLK's Letter From Birmingham Jail, he was very clear what he thought about people who are more concerned with 'order' than justice

 

that crosses the line from protest to revolution.

If it has nothing to do with homophobia why did you mention the sexual orientation of the victim of this attack?

They are not protesting racism, wake up and smell the coffee

They are nihilistic anarchists

Just to make the point that the mob shows no mercy and will go to any lengths
