Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said in a newly surfaced video from 2015 that she and her fellow organizers are โtrained Marxistsโ โ making clear their movementโs ideological foundation, according to a report.
Cullors, 36, was the protรฉgรฉ of Eric Mann, former agitator of the Weather Underground domestic terror organization, and spent years absorbing the Marxist-Leninist ideology that shaped her worldview,
Breitbart News reported.
โThe first thing, I think, is that we actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers,โ she said, referring to BLM co-founder Alicia Garza.
โ
We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories. And I think that what we really tried to do is build a movement that could be utilized by many, many black folk,โ
Cullors added in the interview with Jared Ball of The Real News Network.
