It is an open secret that the radical movements of the day – including Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter (BLM), and Seattle’s “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” (aka CHAZ) – all have their basis in communist theory and practice. BLM Activist Shaun King, states on Twitter that he “support(s) the communists & socialists standing against Trump and against bigotry & white supremacy.” One of the founders of BLM, Patrisse Cullors, freely admits that she and her fellow organizers ” are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories,” and credits the Labor/Community Strategy Center with providing her with that training. She describes the Center as “having deep historical ties to the long history of anti-colonial, anti-imperialist, pro-communist resistance to the US empire.”
The organizers of CHAZ have issued a series of demands on line. These include, “replacement of the current criminal justice system (with) the creation of restorative/transformative accountability programs as a replacement for imprisonment,” “the funding previously used for Seattle Police be redirected into… Socialized Health and Medicine for the City of Seattle…Free public housing, because housing is a right, not a privilege (and) Naturalization services for immigrants to the United States living here undocumented. (We demand they be called “undocumented” because no person is illegal),” and “a decentralized election process to give the citizens of Seattle a greater ability to select candidates for public office such that we are not forced to choose at the poll between equally undesirable options.”
Similar demands were made by “Occupy Wall Street,” who wanted a “guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment,” “free college education,” and “open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live,” while an anonymous poster at Crimethinc.com explains that “the proposal to abolish the police is not a proposal to defund a particular institution, but to overhaul our entire society, abolishing the disparities that make police necessary to maintain the prevailing order.”
Meanwhile, Black Lives Matters states their “continued commitment to liberation” and “to co-creating alongside comrades, allies, and family a culture where each person feels seen, heard, and supported…”we intentionally build and nurture a beloved community that is bonded together through a beautiful struggle that is restorative…we disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another…”

One could no longer be content with interpreting the world; one must be concerned with transforming it, which meant transforming both the world itself and human consciousness of it.” Based upon this view, Marx believed that “underlying everything (that is, all of our material world and reality) as the real basis of society is the economic structure. This structure includes (a) the ‘material forces of production,’ that is, the labour and means of production, and (b) the overall ‘relations of production,’ or the social and political arrangements that regulate production and distribution…above the economic structure rises the superstructure, consisting of legal and political ‘forms of social consciousness’ that correspond to the economic structure.”
Marx also believed that “the political relations that individuals establish among themselves are dependent on material production, as are the legal relations,” and that eventually, some “individuals become conscious of the conflict within the economic structure between the material forces of production and the existing relations of production expressed in the legal property relations.”
In other words, Marxism consists in understanding that you, as a physical being, have an obligation to transform both yourself and your world; that economic structure is the basis for that material world you live in; and that there is a conflict between the economic structure and the legal relationships that have been imposed on that economic structure. It follows, then, that once you are aware of this conflict, you have an obligation to do something to transform those legal relationships.
