A video resurfaced
of one of the co-founders of Black Lives Matter optimistically
promoting a book she compared to infamous Chinese leader Mao Zedong’s
communist red book.
During a speech in 2010, Patrisse Cullors highlighted a pamphlet
titled “The 7 Components of Transformative Organizing Theory.” In the
video, she told the story of how a student came up to her and compared
it to Mao’s red book to which she enthusiastically agreed.
Mao was responsible for launching China into the so-called “Great
Leap Forward” during the late 1950s and early 60s, which resulted in
mass famine and the deaths of an estimated 4 million people. His red
book was a propaganda pamphlet meant to reassert Mao’s position in China
following the catastrophic results of his communist policies.
The pamphlet Cullors was touting was written by radical far-left
activist Eric Mann who has expressed extreme communist sympathies. For
instance, he wrote about his admiration for the Soviet Union in a 2017 Huffington Post article,
noting “a great appreciation of the achievements of the Russian
Revolution and the Soviet Union is a critical part of our revolutionary
future.”
Cullors has a history of connecting herself and fellow Black Lives
Matter co-founder Alicia Garza to Marxist and communist thinking,
stating in June of 2020 that she and Garza are “trained Marxists.”
