Black Lives Matter: Destoying Private Property and Looting is Patriotic

As you read this, keep in mind that Obama fully endorsed this group. He even invited them to the White House and helped them grow into the terrorist organization that they are. This is the outgrowth of the failed “Occupy” movement that Obama also backed, but it failed miserably:

A high-profile Black Lives Matter terrorist lecturing students at Yale said protesters who have destroyed private property in cities like Ferguson, Missouri, were employing a “righteous tactic” to force change.



DeRay McKesson, the 30-year-old activist hired to deliver for credit lectures at the prestigious university for two days, said Black Lives looters are the modern-day equivalent to the patriots behind the historic Boston Tea Party.
Someone needs to revisit American History. The tea was not looted, it was destroyed. The tea essentially belonged to a government entity that was forcing the colonists to purchase it at a high rate. It was being used to control the populace. Where is this happening in any of the places BLM has trashed and stolen?
The lecturer had students examine an essay written over the summer titled “In Defense of Looting.”

Here’s an excerpt from the lengthy piece:

The mystifying ideological claim that looting is violent and non-political is one that has been carefully produced by the ruling class because it is precisely the violent maintenance of property which is both the basis and end of their power. Looting is extremely dangerous to the rich (and most white people) because it reveals, with an immediacy that has to be moralized away, that the idea of private property is just that: an idea, a tenuous and contingent structure of consent, backed up by the lethal force of the state. When rioters take territory and loot, they are revealing precisely how, in a space without cops, property relations can be destroyed and things can be had for free.

On a less abstract level there is a practical and tactical benefit to looting. Whenever people worry about looting, there is an implicit sense that the looter must necessarily be acting selfishly, “opportunistically,” and in excess. But why is it bad to grab an opportunity to improve well-being, to make life better, easier, or more comfortable? Or, as Hannah Black put it on Twitter: “Cops exist so people can’t loot ie have nice things for free so idk why it’s so confusing that people loot when they protest against cops” [sic]. Only if you believe that having nice things for free is amoral, if you believe, in short, that the current (white-supremacist, settler-colonialist) regime of property is just, can you believe that looting is amoral in itself.
