Good points. There are a lot of other examples, the Democratic Socialists of America, to name just one. BLM is a good one--even the name was selected by what turned out to be con artists who got rich after they defanged the initial anti-police murder protests, in which white protestors initially outnumbered Black ones in many cases.

As soon as they started calling it Black Lives Matter, it was doomed to failure. The phrase implies that other ethnicities DON'T matter, and had an immediate alienating effect. That's why it was chosen, and all the wokeness and hysteria in the world won't change that fact.

Oh. Liberals are incapable of fighting the far right because they are right-wing themselves. They will maintain capitalism at all costs, always have and always will defend the status quo in which they are comfortable. Marx, Lenin, they all knew this. Nothing has fundamentally changed.

The African-Americans are kept placated by their Settler-Colonial Interest, much like the white proletariat. Return to Africa has been discredited among their community, Ethnogenesis in America and BLM are now mainstream. Those who refused to possess that interest have already left.

The societal position of African-Americans within the US has been more solid than that of the Asian-American and other minorities. They receive the bulk of Imperialist-bribery, Affirmative-Action and the such, and, for the most part, do not possess a deep mistrust of the US civilization - much like you. They are content with government-blaming in a settler-colonial regime which is backed by the entire force of its voting bloc, which is no small amount.

The US is not a monarchy. Like China, the US is a democracy. The US regime is kept in place by the will of the people. In fact, the US was LESS Imperialistic when it was under a Monarchy. What does it really say when the will of the people keep one of two Imperialist parties in power? They will never have a revolution - at most, violent reform, followed by Khrushchevite revision, in typical Settler-Colonial fashion.

The African-Americans are too integrated, too complacent to ever rise up against settler-colonialism, the same way Asian-Americans are currently brain-draining the US. Their revolutionaries are too few - remove the head, which is a singular figure, and the entire movement loses momentum. Their interests are too mixed.
