Just some interesting information on one of the organization's co-founders, and an article discussing black Marxism and critical theory of racial capitalism.

BLM co-founder: “It’s not possible for a world to emerge where black lives matter if it’s under capitalism,” Garza said in 2015. “And it’s not possible to abolish capitalism without a struggle against national oppression and gender oppression,” https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1586&v=ETdStVAXwgk&feature=emb_logo

"It is noteworthy that BLM reaches back to Robinson’s (2000 [1983]) Black Marxism, rather than drawing on more recent high-profile accounts of neoliberal capitalism by scholars such as David Harvey (2007, 2015a) and Wendy Brown (2015, 2016)." https://link.springer.com/article/10.1057/s41296-020-00399-0

As James notes in this thread: Marcuse taught Angela Davis taught the black feminists made CRT. https://twitter.com/ConceptualJames/status/1295881946271227906?s=20
