Why do you think BLM is obviously anti-democratic?
"We envision a remaking of the current U.S. political system in order to create a real democracy" - Website you linked.
Quote:We demand independent Black political power and Black self-determination in all areas of society. We envision a remaking of the current U.S. political system in order to create a real democracy where Black people and all marginalized people can effectively exercise full political power.
See what happens when you put things back into context???
The term "real democracy" surplants the current system as it would insure: "independent Black political power and Black self-determination in all areas of society." even if a given community would not normally democratically elect to have an 'independent black political power structure.'
How do I know this? because they in the manifesto's mission statement said they are going to change the current democratic system to what they deem a 'real democracy.' Which will always include "a black political base of power."
That's not a 'real democracy' that my confused friend is authoritarianism, it is control of the illusion of democracy through this segregationist 'black political power structure.' Which is how Liberia and many if not all other current S-SA countries are run.
...Which all fail when the leader dies, or are in endless conflict with themselves.
