The problem with BLM is the same problem you see with the DSA.There
are definitely pro-capitalist,reformist factions of both.BLM may not
be an NGO,but they have the support of NGOs,like the Ford

purposes be an NGO.I won't start taking BLM seriously until they start
linking white supremacy and police brutality to capitalism and class
struggle.
What do you mean by "linking"? Like chanting "down with capitalism" when
they are leading 10,000 people in a protest? Let me clue you in. If they
were into chanting "down with capitalism", they'd be leading 1000 people
instead of 10,000. The group you belong to emerged as a split from the
Workers World Party. In the 1960s, they tried to position themselves to
the left of the antiwar movement by marching under neon-colored signs
calling for an end to capitalism. This was a sterile, ultraleft tactic.
Like the Vietnam antiwar movement, BLM is action-oriented around clear
demands such as having a killer cop arrested. Good for them.
