There has been a lot of criticism of the black lives matter movement, specifically that they have a lot of socialist elements in them, and that they advocate violence. I want to address the first of these.
Socialism doesn't liberate, it only oppresses. It doesn't even oppress equally. If equality is your goal, socialism won't get you there. The people who talk about the need for socialism are aware of this, but they either think they are safe, or that maybe they can fix what's wrong.
If they think they are safe, they are wrong. Only the person at the very top is safe. Literally all others have to toe the line. If they think they can fix what's wrong, they need to stop doing what all other proponents of socialism have done: that of targeting a group of people. Just like Nazis and Communists (people like to forget they all refered to themselves as socialist ideologies) targeted groups of their own citizens for oppression and expulsion, modern socialists in the west are targeting billionaires, the rich and white people, specifically white males.
