Please name any, and quote the point in Marx's writings from which they come.

Black Lives Matter activists have released a 10 point plan to address abuses by US police forces:

• ending "broken windows" policing, which aggressively polices minor crimes in an attempt to stop larger ones
• using community oversight for misconduct rather than having police decide what consequences officers face
• making standards for reporting police use of deadly force
• independently investigating and prosecuting police misconduct
• having the racial makeup of police departments reflect the communities they serve
• requiring officers to wear body cameras
• providing more training for police officers
• ending for-profit policing practices
• ending the police use of military equipment
• implementing police union contracts that hold officers accountable for misconduct

Black Lives Matters has grown into a national anti-racism movement broadly supported by Americans, few of whom would identify themselves as Marxist.


The attack has been made in recent weeks by Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer; Ben Carson, Trump’s secretary of Housing and Urban Development; conservative talk show host Mark Levin; and PragerU, which has more than 4 million Facebook followers.


Meanwhile, 50 percent of registered voters support Black Lives Matter as of mid-July, up from 37 percent in April 2017, according to Civiqs, an online survey research firm.

In July, the New York Times reported that Black Lives Matter may be the largest movement in U.S. history, as four polls suggest that about 15 million to 26 million people in the United States have participated in demonstrations over the death of Floyd and others in recent weeks. (That does not account for similar protests overseas.)

“I am fairly convinced these are mostly attempts to smear anti-racist activists. I think in some media, ‘Marxist’ is dog-whistle for something horrible, like ‘Nazi’, and thus enables to delegitimize/dehumanize them,”

it definitely is.
 
BLM is about revealing police brutality to Americans ,who did not know about it. That is no political philosophy. Blacks are tired of being beaten and killed for a police sport.
 
Rightys are using the somebody ,somewhere defense. If someone claims to be a Marxist, everyone is. It is a huge fail in logic and fact. The people are standing in the streets to keep black people from being beaten and killed by police. They do it for principle and often religious reasons. They do it for legal reasons and for exercising their constitutional right to protest. It is not about Marxism.
 
We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.

destroying the nuclear family is a key marxist goal. nothing to do with blak.
