You have a point. The word Socialism is being way over used, myself included. You can put any name to it you want. I don't know what news you follow, if you believe the anarchy going on in several major cities but just concentrate on the crime numbers. Pick a city. I guarantee you the crime numbers are up significantly.
Does Socialism account for this? I don't know but what I do know is that something is happening and it isn't because of the false narrative that cops are out "hunting" Black people to kill. The statistics will also tell you that isn't true with the recently thrown around statistic that 89% of all Black people killed are by other Blacks and the numbers killed by cops are less than 1% and of that 11%, 75% ( approx. ) had a weapon.
Have we reached the goal of equal justice under the law? Probably not and probably never will without a dictator but are we as a people continuing to try and reach that goal? Hell yes and many things including the prosecution of more cops and improved laws says so.
The question for me is, is all this violence and destruction hurting the most vulnerable, minorities worth it? I think not.
Only through enforcing laws can we move forward. The Marxist believe the exact opposite. I have heard many of them say nothing can be achieved without violence and point to the American revolution as the proof. What these people don't see IMHO, is unlike King George, we are moving in the right direction with a Democracy that does bend to the will of the people without violence if given the chance. Dr. King seemed to understand this. John Lewis seemed to understand this but the leaders of BLM don't. They believe the exact opposite.
It doesn't take a genius to understand what an armed struggle between Blacks and Whites will bring. A set back to say the least for Blacks would be my prediction. I hope it doesn't come to that as the new Black militias are saying is necessary.
