Will This Be the Radicalization of Black Lives Matter?

Ten Black Lives Matter chapters are demanding that those who have amassed millions of dollars in the movement’s name submit to both a financial and political accounting.

{Most of the activists who hit the streets just wanted to do the work and didn't know that questions about whether this movement was more valuable as an instrument of the ideological re-legitimization of the system than it was as an instrument for advancing the oppositional, anti-capitalist radical Black movement, especially as it seemed to align itself with right-wing neoliberal Democrats from Obama, Clinton, Warren and now to Biden.}

There in lays the separation of agendas sources such as Black Agenda Report and World Socialist Web Site have been exposing as millionaires and corporations began buying into the movement. The question to further discovery now is, who may be dictating a seemingly suppression of the movement? The donors or the neoliberal apparatus. Is it a collaborate effort?

{So, with the field being flooded with cash from the enemy to keep the focus on easily incorporated themes of "racial justice" and "criminal justice reform," issues of both financial and political accountability were always beneath the surface. Now those issues have found the light of day and accountability is being called for.}

I have to admit this is one of those times where I told you so provides a short moment of satisfaction for those of us, especially those of us in this group, who recognized and voiced fair notice to this illusion as it's now being admittedly confronted by the BLMGN, who took an amount of negative criticism for our opinions. Here and other forums. I will suggest people take heed to this notification from BLMGN and apply it to other types of activist groups as I have related this same type of illusion to some of them in the past and allow it to redevelop your opinions on how we can be easily duped. This lesson goes a long way into the political arena in many aspects towards understanding how we are at war with the ruling class and establishment structure when it comes to purposely oppressing societies beneficial movements.

{The situation that faces African workers and the colonized peoples of this settler colony are dire. There is no capitalist solution to the crisis of capital at this stage of its development. No Keynesianism, no “new deals,” no appeals to U.S. exceptionalism or “making America great” will reverse its rot. The material contradictions of the capitalist order have accelerated social-economic forces toward either a unique period of a “new” national expression of U.S. fascism (colonialist fascism was the base upon which racialized capitalism was erected ), or of a revolutionary situation in which socialist revolution is presented by left forces as a viable option.}

{The streets were filled with righteous indignation demanding “justice” for Floyd and correctly linking the other cases of police violence such as the execution of Breonna Taylor. Yet, while the marches demanded that we say the names of Floyd and Taylor and remember Rice and Sandra Blaine — out of sight in run-down nursing homes, overcrowded hospitals, and alone in apartments, our folks were dying in silence. The movement would not claim them; would not say their names or, it seemed — fight for them.}

We allowed ourselves to be divided when both these issues should have been in unison! Today, both are virtually dead in the water and absolutely no progress has been achieved! We're actually going backwards on both fronts.

{It is clear to me that the chapters raising questions about BLM from the frontlines are doing so not out of a desire to destroy but to strengthen the movement by generating this discussion.}

Lets fucking hope so! And not towards the establishment direction!
