Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

BLM leader Patrisse Cullors: you can be a Marxist and buy properties worth $3 million in just a few years...

... because fighting capitalism, oppression, racism, discrimination, inequality and lack of opportunity pays really, really, really well



Marc Lamont Hill: There's also a critique though from the left that would say if you are a trained Marxist, if we're talking about a certain kind of radical politic, that extravagant homes of any sort or multiple properties of any sort is itself contradictory to the ideology that you hold, so it's not about having money per se or about property per se, but it's about there being a potential contradiction between your expressed politics and your lived practice.

Patrisse Cullors: Sure, and I think that is a critique that is wanting. And I say that because the way that I live my life is in direct support to Black people, including my Black family members, first and foremost. And for so many Black folks who are able to invest in themselves and their community, they choose to invest in their family. And that's what I have chosen to do. I have a child, I have a brother that has severe mental illness that I take care of, I support my mother and I support many other family members of mine. And so I see my money as not my own, I see it as my family's money as well.
