" Black Lives Matter " movement ideologically obtuse ?



        The public voices of  " Black Lives Matter " seem to have no ideological perspective -despite the "  far left "  label on the far right.  In the not so dead past black American leaders Martin Luther King and Malcolm X- both assassinated with FBI intrigue- made a connection between racism and capitalism , between racism and imperialism. My favorite Malcolm quote : " Show me a capitalist and I will show you a bloodsucker ".
                 The American ruling class can remove all the obnoxious public symbols of racism but that will not change the CLASS status of the vast majority of black Americans. Today THEY -the still ONE PERCENT - offer Joe Biden to the black voters as THE solution to  the smoldering fury at CLASS oppression and exploitation.
                   What was the 2016 USA presidential election all about but rage at the Establishment ?  Joe Biden -a pillar of the Establishment !
       The American working class - of all races and ethnic groups- has nothing to gain from a Biden presidency or from Trump's re-election.
        The Great French Revolution of 1789 and the Russian Revolution of 1917 inspired hope for decades for  human EQUALITY.
        WE THE PEOPLE need a mass party of the working class - an American Labor Party .  Such a party - a break from ruling class political dominance - can guide social change away from chaos, anarchy , and self-defeating " terrorism ". To REAL human equality.
