So a little bit of googling uncovers the assertion that "black lives matter" was first used by a prominent civil rights activist, who is also a marxist.
But, I am sure that Kirata is right in positing that most people don't associate the phrase with Marxism.
I'm not sure I agree with the "useful idiots" characterisation, I think that those people who don't understand the purpose and goal of the "black lives matter" are better classed as idiots.
There is nothing in the term that suggests that other lives don't matter. Grammatically there is no logical way you could draw that inference. For the eternally confused, and I would certainly not place Kirata in this bucket, the goal of the statement is to assert that black lives matter as much as other lives and that, implicitly, a large number of people believe that in today's culture they are not given the same status as non-black lives.
Of course, if you don't think that black lives matter as much as other lives, then doubtless you'll be wanting to position the people who make the claim that the people using the term are idiots.
You may believe that there is no problem, and that the argument is a silly one, and that therefore the people using the term are idiots. Personally, I think this is a difficult point to make successfully, but it is certainly a point.
While it is convenient, albeit stupid and lazy, to attempt to characterise everything you disagree with as a Marxist plot, I'm not sure it's a helpful approach to take. Since the attempt is far more likely to make the person making it look like a stupid drooling stain. But, this is an open forum, with very relaxed moderation, so if people want to play the role of fuck wad, I can only be entertained by it.
