If you have any doubt that State Bar President Larry McDougal was right when he called Black Lives Matter a bunch of thugs, then consider how BLM’s founders describe themselves as Marxists - that means communists for those of you who have forgotten. You know, the people who brought the world the Bolshevik Revolution, Stalin’s gulags, Mao’s communist revolution and untold millions of murdered and starved people, down to Pol Pot and the Castros.
From the New York Post:
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said in a newly surfaced video from 2015 that she and her fellow organizers are “trained Marxists” – making clear their movement’s ideological foundation, according to a report.
Cullors, 36, was the protégé of Eric Mann, former agitator of the Weather Underground domestic terror organization, and spent years absorbing the Marxist-Leninist ideology that shaped her worldview, Breitbart News reported.
She described how she became a trained organizer with the Labor/Community Strategy Center, which she called her “first political home” under the mentorship of Mann, its director, Breitbart reported.
The center, which describes its philosophy as “an urban experiment,” uses grassroots organization to “focus on Black and Latino communities with deep historical ties to the long history of anti-colonial, anti-imperialist, pro-communist resistance to the US empire,” according to the outlet.
It also expresses its appreciation for the work of the US Communist Party, “especially Black communists,” as well as its support for “the great work of the Black Panther Party, the American Indian Movement, Young Lords, Brown Berets, and the great revolutionary rainbow experiments of the 1970s,” Breitbart reported.
Former SBOT president Trey Apffel and most of the upper leadership of the Bar think a communist insurgency is a good thing. Are the patriotic lawyers in this State, who I think are probably the majority, going to stand for this?
