America has spent years fighting communism outside its borders, but now a Marxist threat is growing from within the country, Heritage Foundation senior fellow Mike Gonzalez says.
Gonzalez, author of “BLM: The Making of a New Marxist Revolution,” says the Black Lives Matter organization has encouraged Americans, especially young people, to embrace communist ideology.
In 2020, there “were 633 riots … according to the U.S. Crisis Monitor run out of Princeton [University], and 95% of those riots in which we know the identity of the perpetrator … Black Lives Matter members were included,” Gonzalez says.
Through his book, Gonzalez hopes to “open people’s eyes” to the true nature of Black Lives Matter.
Gonzalez joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the book and why he’s standing against the communist influences in our culture today.
Also on today’s show, we read your letters to the editor and share a good news story about a New Jersey community that is going above and beyond to make sure all returning military personnel receive the welcome and thank you they deserve.
Enjoy the show!

The part of the story that particularly piqued my interest was how the liberal “factcheckers”, more accurately “fakecheckers”, are running interference for Black Lives Matter, even to the extent of trying to explain away the BLM leaders’ own words.
