Black BLM activists clash with white Antifa operatives over who gets to lead the movement

American Thinker –

“A lot of whiteness started seeping into the forefront. A lot of white voices started seeping into the front.”  —Devin Boss, BLM leader in Portland, Ore.

Leftist coalitions are inherently unstable, so it was only a matter of time before clashes between angry blacks under the banner of BLM started chafing over the prominence of mostly white Antifa radicals.  Power, after all, is what motivates the left, and political power is a zero-sum game.  Add in the permanent racial resentment animating Black Lives Matter, and the prospects for smooth collaboration between BLM and Antifa decline over time.

  1. Vladimir Lenin used to refer to unknowledgeable sympathizers to the communist cause ‘Useful Idiots’.

    The question becomes which group is which?
    A) Antifa
    B) Black Lives Matter
    C) All of the above

    My money is on C.

    Aha, that is a good reason to let the Chinese surreptitiously arm the rotten bastards of both. It will be mensheviks vs bolsheviks, Part Two. Let the murders commence.

    The difference, as I see it: Antifa wants to destroy the Pie while BLM wants to own the whole Pie. They do not share any middle ground. Violence will settle it.
