Onebrow, the context matters.
Marx, Engels and every Communist movement since has advocated the abolition of the family because they see it as part of patriarchal oppression of the capitalist system, the family unit also is an impediment to the influence and control of the state.
I am a big believer in context.
So, using modus tollens, since BLM has not advocated for the dissolution of the family, they are not a communist movement?
The fruits of the BLM movement include abolishing the police department in Minneapolis.
The police department i Minneapolis is still standing, and the is nothing in place that will remove it. No such laws, budgets, orders, etc. have been passed. Feel free to check.
They also include the funding cuts and in police departments in Baltimore, New York, Chicago, Ferguson and others. The results have which are a tremendous increase in the number of homicides.
I'm sure you can link to some comparison statistics for that claim, say, comparing Baltimore with St. Louis to see if there is an effect on funding and murder rate. Right? Because if you can't find such an effect, if may be that the police actually don't do as much to prevent murders as some people think.
These neighborhoods now have burnt down black businesses with no hopes of re-opening because now it's not only burnt out, but the police are decreasing their patrols of the neighborhoods so it's too high risk to invest in.
Rebuilding will be slow. Harlem was built slowly, until the government stepped in and the money was drained. Black Wall Street in Tulsa was built slowly, until the riot destroyed it. Rebuilding will happen, and if white people are too scared too invest, black wealth will be built.
A lot of businesses are compromised by the new, and much higher price of insurance that you'd have to purchase and with things going up in smoke every time there is a police action, most outsiders don't want to invest in these communities. And most of the black business people that live there can't afford to now.
Perhaps homicides are up because people are angry and disconnected this year? You know, with the pandemic, increased unemployment, etc.?
