BLM and Neo Marxism

The Russian Origins of Black Neo-Marxism
By Gary Gindler
“White” does not mean white. “White” in radical parlance means anyone of any race, creed, nationality, color, sex, or sexual preference who embraces capitalism, free markets, limited government, and American traditional culture and values.”
This philosophical concept belongs to Noel Ignatiev, a white American of Russian origin, who is the ideological founding father of numerous radical black movements in America. The author of this concept was even lucky enough to see his best students — Black Lives Matter (BLM) — in action.
Research into the work of this former Harvard professor finally answered the question of why BLM proponents are so negative about the perfectly rational slogan “All Lives Matter.” The fact is that the “black” in the interpretation of Ignatiev is a revolutionary Marxist. All those who do not agree with the Left ideology should, according to Ignatiev, be eliminated.
The slogan “All Lives Matter” blurs the concept of the enemy and brings confusion to the minds of revolutionaries. That is why any mention of “All Lives Matter” (or its version in support of the police — “Blue Lives Matter”) provokes such an acute reaction of the Left.
According to Ignatiev, “black” is not the level of pigment in the skin, but the level of adherence to the Marxist doctrine.
According to this definition, the great American free-market economist Thomas Sowell, although he has quite enough black pigment, is not “black.” The conservative justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Clarence Thomas is not “black” either. According to Ignatiev, many black Americans are not “black” just because they do not want to follow the Marxist dogma.
Noel Ignatiev (1940-2019) was born in America in a family of Jewish immigrants from Russia and was a third-generation communist. Moreover, he was not just a member of the Communist Party of the USA from the age of 17 but belonged to its most radical, ultra-left Marxist-Leninist wing. What was his most outstanding contribution to American philosophy?

Nothing “neo” in Marxism. It is all the same non-rational evil death cult that has been around since the 19th century.
And it wasn’t “new” when Marx regurgitated Envy and Hate in his works.
Spot on 11B and a most timely article Poe. Those of us who are students of history see and realize that what is happening today is the culmination of more than a century of the destruction of the American Republic. The mere thought of a free and independent thinking citizenry is an abomination to the Marxist/Socialist/Communist/Leftist.
I wonder if the useful idiots will realize the error of their ways before the bullet enters the back of their head?
Slightly off topic, saw a blurb on the TV News this morning where Real Estate Agents can no longer use the term Master Bath or Master Bedroom in their literature, subject to a fine and potential loss of their license. I guess the term for self inflicted sex is next.
If only we could all live more than two or three generations.
Would the added history benefit mankind or make it worse?
I’m not sure most people should be allowed to survive early childhood.
It’s just a repackaged & rebranded version of the same failing endeavor. The people at the top are different, but they want the same thing…POWER!
Trained Marxists, huh? do they think they could survive something like the Holodomor in Ukraine? I don’t believe they have a clue.
“For it is written, [As] I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” ~ Romans 14:11
Be careful of publicly taking a knee in support of political, economic, cultural, or philosophical doctrines and movements.
I kneel only before the Prince of Peace.
Amen, CCR.
I wrote about this before, but I think you are all missing the point. We are in a war of ideas. BLM and Antifa are not really the source of this; they are simply overt fronts of a political movement. Even their names are carefully selected to infiltrate the mind with meaningless slogans, while their actual agenda is hidden. Who thinks Black live’s don’t matter? Who is pro fascism? No one.
This is an insurgency, and what you are seeing in the streets is Insurgency 101. Force and violence have limited utility. Antifa and BLM exist to provoke the government to overreact and employ violence against citizens and incite an uprising. The only effective way to defeat an idea is to have a better idea.
Fortunately, we have a pretty good set of ideas that has actually withstood the test of time and created the most prosperous nation in the history of the world, defeated tyranny around the world, and actually inspired greatness and facilitated prosperity for most of humankind in the resulting protective umbrella.
Most of the protestors you see don’t know what they are protesting, and they don’t understand what they are promoting. They have not read the Constitution, and they don’t know what actual Fascism looks like, much less the actual Communism they think will create a paradise.
The way to fight this is with facts. Do this: Send your kids and grandkids a copy of the Declaration, the Constitution, the Gettysburg Address. Talk to them about Communism- not just what happened to the Soviet Union, but also China and North Korea. Fill them in on what happened in Cambodia or Cuba.
The pocket Constitution is good way to facilitate your advice.
I purchased thousands of them years ago and give them away.
Still keep some in the vehicle for opportunity.

If you have a teenage kid/grandkid/niece/nephew, a great coming of age gift is a nicely bound edition of these documents.
I was a Scoutmaster for many years. There is nothing more powerful about having a discussion with a young man about honor, duty, God, country. We say those words all the time, but they have lost their meaning.
It is hard to compete with a document that includes the words “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”, or “We the People”.
Steelyl, there is one thing you left out: when Stalin got control of everything after Lenin died, he ordered executions of everyone he no longer needed, after they dug their own graves. That included army officers.
Those uninformed persons who are looting and pillaging and damaging everything they can right now have no idea where it will head once they are no longer needed. They know nothing about how truly vicious it was.
If you can find a way to stop that before it has a chance to start, let me know. It isn’t even about the U.S. Constitution and our history. It’s the trap they are heading right into because that is how naive and uninformed they are.
Gotta disagree.. This is about the values in the Constitution- which everyone in the military and police services- and, believe it or not, every federal civilian employee- have sworn to uphold.
If you place those values side by side with Marxist ideals, liberal democracy will win every time. The many failed communist states are testimony to this.
Liberal democracy tends to run on funding from taxing capitalist conservatives. I’d prefer the Democratic republic our forefathers intended.
BLM is pretty Marxist. It’s true.
Though being Marxist is referring to class struggle and seeing the major tension in the world due to the power, privilege, and exploitation of the ruling class.
BLM takes that rhetoric and applies the power, privilege, and exploitation narrative to the history of white oppression of blacks.
If Democrats kept the discussion focused on class struggles without regard to race they would win elections in landslides.
“being Marxist is referring to class struggle and seeing the major tension in the world due to the power, privilege, and exploitation of the ruling class”
Being Marxist is murdering entire classes of people
so that you can force your will upon the world.
FIFY
Gee Lars, if what you say is so, why don’t Democrats do that? Maybe it’s because you lefties pushed grievance mongering for decades as a way to attack your opponents so that now it’s easier to continue on than to try and rein it in and so much of the Democrats election strategy relies on remaining on that path.
IMHO being a Marxist means you’re lazy as hell both physically and intellectually and you’re subscribing to something that outright murdered over 120 million people in the Twentieth Century.
COMMUNISM SUCKS SHIT.
Marxism is a violent and immature dogma of envy and hate. It repudiates personal responsibility. It preaches the murder of anyone who doesn’t conform. It is an ideology that requires enemies in order to function, therefore it makes enemies of its own adherents and allies if it can’t find them outside. It has no room for growth, reform, or flexibility, as that would acknowledge that Marxism is not the One True Faith. Any attempt to do any of that is nonconformist and will have deadly consequences. Despite its propaganda, it always establishes a new class system in which a small group of elites live in far greater luxury than the commoners they rule.
This should come as no surprise considering its source. Said source was a lazy fuck born into privilege who never had to work a day in his life, leeched off of others to live in comfort throughout his existence, was a toxic backstabbing asshole, treated women like shit, habitually raped his housekeeper, and abandoned the child produced by said rape. Even his fellow socialists didn’t like or trust him once they met him face-to-face. He was a walking, talking embodiment of everything his modern worshippers decry as “patriarchy.” Which really makes every modern marxist a colossal hypocrite.
“This should come as no surprise considering its source. Said source was a lazy fuck born into privilege who never had to work a day in his life, leeched off of others to live in comfort throughout his existence, was a toxic backstabbing asshole, treated women like shit…”
Bernie Sanders invented Marxism???
😝😝😝😝
Marxism means killing large numbers of people for power… er, “social justice”… or something. And it never works.
They would do that if it would work. Capitalism lifts people out of poverty. Individual liberty, limited government, low taxes, and only essential regulations stimulate business, lift people out of poverty, and improves the lives of everyone.
The Democrats are against all of this. So since they don’t have anything constructive to contribute to the country, they push racial division, create welfare slaves, and increase the power of the federal government (to the detriment of all).
“If Democrats kept the discussion focused on class struggles without regard to race they would win elections in landslides.”
D-rats do little more than CREATE class and racial separation as well as crises which they then exploit as much as they can.
You were supposed to help destroy the CommuSiths, not become one.
What we’re witnessing with the current ongoing activities/operations of BLM and Antifa across the country is the planned, coordinated, and well-funded execution of a full-blown communist insurgency here within the borders of the US.
From the “American Thinker” article linked above:
‘BLM stormtroopers are trying to provoke a racial war in America in the hope that it will develop into a civil war — simply because it is much easier to make a revolution during a war. One of the founders of BLM, Patrisse Cullors, does not hide the fact that BLM members are “trained Marxists” who “read Marx, Lenin, and Mao.”’
Please see the writings of Marx, Lenin, and Mao for details.
American people who believe in capitalism, free markets, limited government, and American traditional culture and values need to be fully prepared to defend themselves against this communist insurgency, because it will be coming soon to a neighborhood near you. And it’s not a question of IF it will come, but WHEN.
Failure to be prepared when the communist insurgency ultimately arrives will most likely result in a bullet to the back of the head, or, if one is extremely lucky, a very long stay in a BLM/Antifa gulag or re-education camp.
Please see the factual histories of the Russian and Chinese communist revolutions for details.
I fear that we are now in very dangerous times. Very dangerous times indeed.
I agree Comrades, it’s time for white-on-white genocide to complete the workers’ utopia!
Really?
If the ‘White man’ is such a tyrannical, racist, genocidal, colonizing madman, why on EARTH would you want to provoke him..??!?
Oh wait, the Marxist premise is false and their too stupid to see it!
Or don’t want to.
All go with a blend of A) and B).
Let’s hope this Magical Deathmachine White Man don’t awaken…
SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!
Makes sense, explains a lot, and once again proves that words have meaning.
Progressives, left/libtards, call them what you will.
Accurate analysis.
The left has tried in the past to foment a Civil War, this time they’re financed by George Soros and have many useful idiots from publik shkoolz and colleges ready to do their herders’ bidding. We’ve already seen what awaits them in Red State America and I wonder how many of them will fill body bags if they dare to go outside of the deep blue enclaves?
Anyone who wants to see what is the real, likely result of the triumph of Marxist “socialism/communism” merely needs to watch the movie “1984,” or better yet, read George Orwell’s book of the same name.
No. If you want to see what really happens in Marxism, then watch the documentaries of Stalin’s destruction of farming in Ukraine, and the videos of survivors of the Holodomor. Find interviews with people who somehow escaped East Berlin before the Wall fell.
Reading a novel is not remotely close to the reality of what happened under Stalin. These BLM morons that have been brainwashed into attacking -other- have no idea what they will be getting themselves into.
Point taken. Reality is usually worse than fiction. And I was a first hand witness to East Berlin life for about 10 hours in 1969. It was the grimmest place I have ever been.
A particularly good work concerning the actions of actual Communist rule (as opposed to that mythical “true Communism” every leftist movement thinks it can implement “correctly”) is Robert Conquest’s history of the Holomodor, Harvest of Sorrow.
Much the same was repeated under Mao with his “Great Leap Forward”; by North Korea’s last two rulers and continues today; and by Pol Pot after taking power in Cambodia. To a lesser extent it also occurred in Cuba (after Castro turned over management of the Cuban economy to Guevara, who promptly mismanaged it into near free-fall); in much of the Warzaw pact (the first East German troubles in 1953 were touched off by massive price increases on food and other goods); and even in North Vietnam in the mid-1950s.
As others observed, all a Communist “revolution” does is substitute one group of leaders from another. The new leadership, however, has unlimited power – and zero respect for human rights or lives. And the “temporary” dictatorship they establish never ends.
A revolution resulting in a Leftist (AKA Marxist AKA Communist) government has never turned out well for the nation involved. IMO it never will.
No, don’t read novels. If you want the reality of Marxism’s results, then see the documentaries of Stalin’s programs and pogroms that resulted in the deaths of millions, as in the Holodomor in Ukraine and the executions of Russian Army officers when he was done with them.
Who needs Marxism, Communism, or Socialism when we have the Federal Reserve System to bail out investors, corporations, employers\employees, and state and local governments?
St. Jerome (Powell) will make it rain money until a rising tide lifts all boats. Amen. Now go in peace consumer and dutifully spend to help the economy rebound.
