Quote:
- defunding the police
No, they don't.
Quote:
- reparations
No, they don't.
Quote:
- removal or destruction of many of the current institutions/systems
No, they don't.
Quote:
- at least tacit acceptance of violence as a tool (depending who/where is speaking)
No, they don't.

I'm not sure how you call for 2 of your 3 founders being avowed marxists, but this isn't there either.

Unless you can point me to the statement from BLM, as an organization, "explicitly" stating that these are among the principles of that organization, what you've said is objectively false.
