I don't see how you're getting from BLM to socialism, honestly, any argument about the value of socialism aside.

Read their mission statement. Socialism degrades then individual value of human life.

Quite socialist there. And they do complain about the high taxes, but you also can't help but see that pretty much everybody is middle class and feels safe. A real eye-opener from the point of view of an American, where so many people are hustling, hustling, hustling to keep the rent paid and the electricity on.

The founders of blm are socialists, many followers of blm are socialists, and among their goals they aim to deconstruct capitalism.

Socialism and Capitalism are flawed on their own. Combined, you have a near-perfect ideology. Also, you can like BLM and not support socialism. Nobody said that if you wanted to like one thing you had to like the other.

Well, you can combine the best aspects of socialism and capitalism, or you can combine the worst aspects. Like in China.

Watch out though. Looking into that kind of middle ground between socialism and capitalism formed many fascist philosophers

You need to be able to combine the good and bad of it, like TwoWayMirror said, combine the bad and you get China.

Get it right. Two of the three founders of the BLM movement identify as Marxists.
When it comes down to it Marxism has a snowball's chance in America so it's really not an issue.

Some protesters make pictures of the fist on walls (yes its vandalism but were not talking about that).
There are more socialists in America than you think.

hmm yes because BLM is totally a socialist movement and definitely not based on fighting to stop police brutality

well both actually. police brutality is bad when it's used in the wrong places.

oh i forgot the /s - that was sarcasm. BLM is about police brutality, not socialism.

it may not be primarily about socialism but it still has socialist parts.

No, it doesn't. Just because the founders of the organization believe in Marxism doesn't mean you have to be Marxist to be a BLM supporter. I am capitalist and a BLM supporter.

your comment makes no sense in context to the comment you replied to.
