    I’ve seen calls from some people that BLM needs to be replaced as a slogan/rally cry with something more explicitly revolutionary to prevent this kind of co-opting. At this point it’s been almost totally captured by the libs.

      well yeah we’ve known for a long time now that the “national” BLM org was corrupt af

      you have to start with a core vanguard, not hope that one will co-opt your movement by office-politicking bougie lib careerists out of their comfortable social justice sinecures

      that being said - a lot of the local BLM orgs are being run by revolutionary communists who mostly ignore the “national” leadership and their lib social media operations, which are of course theatre

        Yeh, I don’t think there even IS a legitimate “national leadership of BLM”, anyone claiming that title is doing a massive grift. It’s like claiming to be the CEO of antifa lol
