Based on the *results* of the protest in Portland, is Black Lives Matter a Leninist Group?



 Ok, let's look at the BLM protests closest to me in Portland, OR through  Leninist lens:


- dismisses political reform and compromise: Yep, they're demanding a complete abolition of the police department and are rejecting any reform
- advocates violently overthrowing capitalist regimes, in order to create an authoritarian state that controls the economy: I give you the firebombing of the Federal Building, Police Union, and Police Precincts after blocking the doors to prevent escape.
-class racism is the only correct lens through which to understand society: Robin DiAngelo's White Fragility is the textbook of the movement, despite being rather racist in and of itself.
-uncompromisingly materialist and, yes, atheistic: The attacks on Catholic Churches speak for their atheism and the demand of reparations is materialism.

so, I give them a 4/4 for being Leninist Bolsheviks ready to kill their neighbor rather than compromise.
