“Black Lives Matter” and the Chinese Communist party

The “Black Matter” is so-called “progressive” movement that claims to be fighting for black people rights in the United States and elsewhere. However, this “fight” is more often manifested in riots, racism against the white people and open hostility to the free market economy and Western civilization values.

One of the founders of this movement is Alicia Garzia who also manages the Black Future Lab project. The goal of the mentioned project, according go the official website is to “transform transforms black communities into constituencies that change the way power operates – locally, statewide and nationally”. Ironically, in order to donate funds to this project the official website itself states that the Black Future Lab is a project supporter by the Chinese Progressive Association. In addition, according to the New York Post, Alicia Garzia works  with pro-Chinese organizations.

What is the Chinese Progressive Association?

A scientific document from Staford University states that “the Chinese Progressive Association project began as a left-wing organization supporting the People’s Republic of China. Its task is to raise awareness of the revolutionary idea of mainland China and workers’ rights”. In other words, this is a project that spread pro-Chinese narrative in the United States.

However, this association works together with the Chinese government. According to the Daily Signal, the Boston branch of the Chinese Progressive Association project remains a significant partner of the Chinese Communist Party in the United States. It is also noteworthy that three years ago, this project campaigned for the Chinese citizens to renew their passports in Boston. This, of course received a lot of support from the media controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. Clearly, China is using such organizations to divide the U.S. citizens through the so-called use of sensitive power in the United States. In this case, there is a based reason to believe that communist China supports the Black Lives Matter movement and its co-founder Alicia Garzia.

Alicia Garza: we are trained Marxists

In one interview, back to 2015 this co-founder of the Black Lives Matter said that she and her environment are “trained Marxists”. It is curious to note that she is also the founder of the “movement for the Black Lives Matter”, another movement that divides the U.S. society. The movement for the Black Lives Matter emphasizes on its official website that “we are against capitalism. We believe and understand that blacks will never achieve liberation in this global racist capitalist system”.

Since not that long ago U.S. president was black, this statement sounds unfounded. It seems even stranger to regard Marxism as a system in which the rights of racial minorities will be better represented.

Moving on, the question arises as to whether the actions taken by this organization have contributed in any way to the public safety in the black communities? Of course not. Both, public and private property were destroyed during the Black Lives Matter protests. From this we see that this and other parallel movements have only significantly worsened the public security situation.

Riots and violence 

We may ask ourselves didn’t the withdrawal of the police in the autonomous protest zone indeed leaded to an outbreak of violence and crime? Remembering the case where a filming journalist in the mentioned area faced a danger to his life the answer becomes clear.

The Black Lives Matter movement does not seem to question the policies of the war on drugs in which many black people find themselves in prisons and drug addictions. After all, seeing the protests of this movement and bearing in mind their very name, it is clear that the Black Lives Matter manipulates society as if one of its groups deserves privelges only because of their skin color, not because of their efforts. 

Seeing all of this we can make a conclusion. This organization fight for the Black people rights is as ineffective as the fight of the Communist Parties for the working class during which ordinary people were the most exploited ones by the brutal totalitarian systems. 

Alicia Garza: The goal will be achieved when capitalism is destroyed

Meanwhile in one of her speeches Alicia Garza emphasizes that the goals of the Black Lives Matter movement can only be achieved if capitalism is destroyed. Isn’t such rhetoric and the narrative useful for the Chinese Communist Party? According to the Daily Signal the answer couldn’t be clearer. It says “it’s clear that the Chinese Progressive Association project is working with the Chinese communist government to spread their narrative in the US. From this perspective it’s clear why the Chinese Progressive Association project supports Alicia Graza: They support the same desire for global communism”. On its official website the Black Lives Matter makes it clear that “we are against capitalism. Blacks will never be liberated as long as we live in a capitalist system”. In the context of this goal, burning buildings and revolutionary slogans no longer sound so unexpected.

Is Marxism just a political label? 

The members of the Black Lives Matter themselves claim to be Marxists so there is a very clear reason why we can name this organization as such. Secondly, through Chinese projects, Black Lives Matter organizations are in one way or another related to China, a country that is identified as a threat to national security not only in the United States, but in most of the European countries. With all this in mind we can conclude that the Black Lives Matter is fighting for Marxism, not the most important economic and social difficulties for the black people – like many Marxist organizations their “help” to the disadvantaged turns into a cynical exploitation of society for political power.
