Ben Levi – if that was addressed to me: my issue was with what trump failed to say, not with the fact that he referred to freedom of speech (not that someone who wages war on media can ever be said to be champion of the first amendment, but I digress)
As far as BLM and marxism goes: I don’t know what that means exactly. I suspect you don’t either as this thread is full of copy and paste jobs about the soviet union and genocide. I’m no expert on Marxist thought, but it seems more likely that they refer to an academic view of marxism — Marx having been an economist, philosopher, historian, after all, not a soviet dictator — and view history and politics through the prism of class. It’s possible they believe that real societal change happens quickly by revolution (whether ideologically or by physical violence, although I haven’t heard anyone advocate for violent revolution) rather than evolution. This is all very speculative, especially since the context of what you posted was that they were asked if they have any particular ideological direction, none being obvious beyond the immediate goals, and they said yes, they are trained marxists. Just saying the word Marxist doesn’t mean much, at least not to me, other than give a very general idea of the type of influences. Maybe you could explain what about the word Marxist you find scary instead of posting about Lenin. Maybe you could explain why you’re ok with the president giving a pass to racism by focusing on the legality of the speech itself, rather than his views on racist speech, but wouldn’t afford the same to self identified marxists.
