In the old Soviet Union, there were several distinct classes: the apparatchiks (members of the Communist party), the nomenklatura (those filling influential posts) and the bourgeoisie. In Marxist contexts, the bourgeoisie were “the capitalist class who own most of society’s wealth and means of production.”
Patrice Cullors is one of the founders of Black Lives Matter. She fashions herself as a “trained Marxist.”
“The first thing, I think, is that we actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers,” she said, referring to BLM co-founder Alicia Garza.
“We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories. And I think that what we really tried to do is build a movement that could be utilized by many, many black folk,” Cullors added in the interview with Jared Ball of The Real News Network.
Well, it turns out that being a trained Marxist head of Black Lives Matter pays well.
Very, very well.
As protests broke out across the country in the name of Black Lives Matter, the group’s co-founder went on a real estate-buying binge, snagging four high-end homes for $3.2 million in the US alone, according to property records.
Patrisse Khan-Cullors, 37, also eyed property in the Bahamas at an ultra-exclusive resort where Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods both have homes, The Post has learned. Luxury apartments and townhouses at the beachfront Albany resort outside Nassau are priced between $5 million and $20 million, according to a local agent.
The self-described Marxist last month purchased a $1.4 million home on a secluded road a short drive from Malibu in Los Angeles, according to a report. The 2,370 square-foot property features “soaring ceilings, skylights and plenty of windows” with canyon views. The Topanga Canyon homestead, which includes two houses on a quarter acre, is just one of three homes Khan-Cullors owns in the Los Angeles area, public records show.
This is exactly how things went in the old Soviet Union. Communism is defined this way:
A political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.
Cullors’ example is precisely what results when reality takes hold. She spouts off Marxist bullsh*t and draws followers willing to follow an ideal but all the while Cullors is soaking herself in the trappings of wealth. While she promotes giving to the cause of Black Lives Matter she made herself comfy in largely white neighborhoods.
This isn’t Marxism, but it is how Marxism rolls. In a bow to George Orwell, everyone is equal but many are more equal than others.
And a boatload more wealthy.
Here’s a list of 18 corporations who give money to Black Lives Matter. Now you know where that money goes.
And if this bothers you, you’re a racist.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 40 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 45 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter who is in the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
I thought the Soviets killed all of their bourgeoisie?
I thought they had the top party members, the apparatchiks.
Then they had the nomenklatura, also party members.
Then, at the bottom they had their proletariat, non-party members who slaved in farms, factories and lived in constant fear of displeasing the party elite.
These lesbian blm founders sure have gotten rich off of their invention.
Dumb blacks are deceived by blm.
It has nothing to do with helping blacks at all.
It only destroys police departments by driving a wedge between police and community.
And who is hurt by lax policing?
Black people.
The strange ascendancy of the Left, paid for by Billionaires, is only about two things: Power and Money.
It’s what the whole of human history is about, outside of Christ.
