Yeo. Abolition of the nuclear family is part of the broader BLM and M4BL movement. This is well known.

Communists and marxists are not dumb. They wrote about how they were going to try to destroy America 60 years ago

 

They know they can't invade America

 

So they will destroy it from the inside. Destroy the family unit, cause division, stir up political and social unrest... They are following the playbook to a t

The whole thing is a lot like the Woman's Right's March. The basic premises of "women's rights" or "black lives matter" are awesome. For real, awesome. However, you start digging into the organizational structure/administration, and you realize they are just radicals preying on the unrest of the moment.

If you notice, companies like Nike and Netflix have chosen to donate to NAACP and other well established civil rights groups instead of BLM.

I interchanged post-industrialized and first world, the understanding of the term first world changed over the years. But I digress from the ad hominem. 
 

To the point, 42% of people in the US born in the bottom 20% of income earners stay in the same income brackets as adults. And even then, 65% stay in  bottom 40 % of earners. Other countries like Canada and Denmark have numbers as low as 25% of those born into the bottom 5th staying in the same income bracket as adults. 
 

To your point about GDP, that is precisely part of the problem. The US has a gigantic GDP and a huge income/wage gap, which makes it much more difficult (see unlikely) to climb the socioeconomic ladder. 
 

Just to summarize. America is not number one for opportunity when it comes to stratifying the socio economic ladder. They are near the bottom of post industrialized nations. And no, the gap between the best and the worst is not small. 

Denmark has like 10 million people and Canada 38 million... We have like 350 million

 

That is why there's income inequality. We have everything from people with the biggest work ethics, to people with no work ethic who live off the government teat forever. Millions and millions and millions that adds up

 

There's a lot of people who don't like to work in this country. Lots of people like to collect government welfare and live of the government's teat

 

That drives a lot of the income inequality

 

if you are willing to work 60 hours a week in this country you will climb up the ladder guaranteed

This is all true.. We used to be much better. It's a shame.

Haha, I don't think that is in the cards these days.

They said on their site until recently, for everyone to see, they were against the idea of nuclear families. No one has to make this up, just believe them when they tell you what they’re about.

I think if you read the whole statement, it's really nothing bad. It's more accepting of other types of 'families'.  It's more about other family structures being accepted.

 

"We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable."

I see, so socialism? They seek to burn the status quo to the ground so that they can build the culture back up in their image. So that they can be the power brokers, it’s all a power grab. The critical race theory that they base this BS on is about putting races against each other. When has that ever don’t anything more than turn into bloodshed taken to its logical conclusion? Yet, the likes of crazy cat lady Robin DiAngelo says we have to see race and judge based on race? What the hell is wrong with this world?

Canada has 30 million people compared to our 370 million

 

It's a lot harder to manage 370 million people. We have every extreme. We have tons of people with the best work ethic on the planet

 

And there's tens of millions of people never want to work a day in their life and live off the government teat. That is how we get where we are

 

If you're willing to work 60 hours a week you will move up the ladder guaranteed

Yeah but there are major corporations who donate to BLM, don't get it twisted. Corporations like Home Depot, Walmart, Amazon even companies like Facebook and EA Sports ect. Please do some research before you try to validate your argument.

A group started by three strong females, at least two of whom admitted to be trained marxists (always big fans of the traditional family unit), and one who identifies as *****, don't need no man?

 

Shocking!

This statement tells me you misunderstand what they are advocating. He is right; you are wrong here.  I'm not even advocating one or the other. I'm just saying you don't understand what you are reading. 

Your statement tells me that you have trouble reading. Read the quote back and try to figure out how the subject and qualifier advocate for the position you're defending.

What part of the nuclear family do you attribute to workers owning the means of production?

They aren't quite as explicit as their partner organization M4BL (Movement for Black Lives) who calls for:

 

1) Abolishing all police and all prisons.

2) Progressive restructuring of tax codes at the local, state, and federal levels to ensure a radical redistribution of wealth.

3) Retroactive decriminalization, immediate release, and record expungement of all drug-related offenses and prostitution and reparations for the devastating impact of the 'war on drugs' and criminalization of prostitution.

 

And the leaders of the Black Lives Matter organization are Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometiln who are self-proclaimed Marxists. BLM has been around since 2013.

I mean, for the most part so do I and I'm an upper middle class straight white dude. They aren't exclusively beliefs held by black people for black people, though they have extremely valid additional reasons for wanting those things beyond my reasons.

It's an ambiguous statement and I wonder why they didn't make it more specific.  Such as....."In the absence of a traditional nuclear family structure we should pull together as a community to support the most vulnerable among us"....or something like that.  Saying "We are committed to disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure..." implies to me they want to move away from that system.

When they talk about the nuclear family, they are talking about the idealized family model.  So, rather than preferring a father, a mother, and then siblings, they advocate a community approach. That is what they mean when they say they want to do away with the nuclear family. Families that are missing a father, headed by a grandparent, etc., still fall within the framework of a nuclear family, because that is what is being mimicked.  BLM is saying the family model should be one where all members of the community, e.g. neighbors, guide and are responsible for the children.  

[SoCal Deek]

You people have got to be kidding me? The entire BLM movement is nothing more than yet another wealth redistribution scheme veiled in anti-racism so as to make woke millennials buy into this crap before they’re old enough to know what happened to them!

No it doesn't, people just take words off the sentence which creates something they didn't say.

They are eliminating the REQUIREMENT for it to be a family.

Kind of like how civil rights movement didn't eliminate white people, they eliminated the requirement for you to be white to participate.

Yes I know. I was calling specifically out those who have chosen not to donate to them.

No, they don't. If you read the entire page the rest of their messaging is very similar regarding gender/sex etc. Genrally speaking the mesage it, no matter what your upbringing, your orientation, your gender, your family structure, you are welcome.

You know, kinda like that jesus dude.

No. This is not true at all. You should read some critical race theory. It seems like you would be shocked to learn what critical race theorists/BLM are really advocating.

I guess part of this is I am more familiar with the literature that undergirds these movements than you are.  In the deepest sense, you really don't know what you are talking about.

He's really totally not wrong. Go to their website and it's full of marxist ideologies

 

Of course black people's lives matter. but their website is full of anti-family and Marxist ideas. one sentence on their website says their goal is to disrupt the Western nuclear family

The group is basically a terrorist organization with their only goal to destroy the nuclear family and cause problems. What I've learned to do is separate the organization from the actual terminology "black lives matter". Of course they do. End of story
