BLM is a neo-Marxist terrorist organization

The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLM) is a global organisation, active in the USA, UK, and Canada, who are working towards the eradication of white supremacy and racially-motivated violence carried out against Black communities by the state and others. ^[1] The movement gained prominence following the death of George Floyd which caused global outcry and protests against police brutality. This event has been the driving factor in the organisation calling for the defunding of the police force, whose primary purpose is to in fact protect our communities. ^[2] What underpins this argument is the idea that the Marxist ideology on which BLM was founded, in addition to the acts carried out by supporters of the organisation, serves to disrupt and wreak havoc upon American society. Most importantly, Marxism is anti-American and goes against the very idea of the American Dream and Capitalism, on which the USA was built. ^[3] American federal law defines domestic terrorism as the realisation of acts which violate criminal laws and threaten human life with the intention to coerce the population, influence or coerce government policy. ^[4] Since 2017, BLM campaigners have been responsible for the defacing and destruction of statues of prominent American figures, such as Robert E.Lee, as well as the looting and burning of businesses across the nation in the name of achieving racial equality. ^[5] This is an attack on American heritage and culture, which should not be taken lightly, overlooked, or hidden under the guise of achieving racial equality. These acts violate laws and have put lives in danger which aligns with the legal definition of domestic terrorism. Consequently, there is no doubt that BLM encourages terror attacks and thus, is a terrorist organisation. Interpreting these acts of vandalism and arson with close reference to BLM’s Marxist grounding reveals their terrorist nature. The violence and calls to radically change approaches to public safety seek to uproot the current political system which is a threat to democracy and American heritage and values.
