The mayhem unleashed on America's cities by Black Lives Matter, Antifa and other anarchists is laying the groundwork for a larger "revolution" to bring about "radical change" to the capitalist system, Marxist activist Angela Davis said.
"Sometimes we assume the most important work is the dramatic work the street demonstrations. I like the term that [Marxist cultural critic] John Berger used: Demonstrations are 'rehearsals for revolution,' " Davis told filmmaker Ava DuVernay in a Vanity Fair interview.
The Black Lives Matter riots and defund the police movement represent the culmination of decades of radical left-wing activism, Davis said.
Davis is a tenured professor (retired) at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
The protests offered people an opportunity to join in this collective demand to bring about deep change, radical change, Davis said. Defund the police, abolish policing as we know it now. These are the same arguments that weve been making for such a long time about the prison system and the whole criminal justice system. It was as if all of these decades of work by so many people, who received no credit at all, came to fruition.
Davis, who was a longtime member of Communist Party USA, also equated capitalism with racism: Capitalism has always been racial capitalism. Wherever we see capitalism, we see the influence and the exploitation of racism.
The Marxist activist also backed the rioters' tearing down of historic statues: Those statues are our reminders that the history of the United States of America is a history of racism. So its natural that people would try to bring down those symbols.
Davis continued: Not only should there be free education, but there should be free childcare and there should be free health care as well. All of these issues are coming to a head. This is, as you said, a racial reckoning. A reexamination of the role that racism has played in the creation of the United States of America.
Hey Angie, baby! Medusa called. She wants her hairpiece back!
We should count ourselves lucky, in that they’re showing us their playbook out in the open.
Of course she's wearing a wig. At her age her hair should be gray or white.
Well. There ya go.
Is Kenosha, Wisconsin a rehearsal of how her little pretend “revolution” will turn out?
Prog - 2/3 dead, 1/3 wounded?
Conservatives - not a scratch, gobs of video demonstrating self-defense and the best lawyers in the US?
.
Unrepentant b!tch will get her just reward in due time...
This I don't doubt.
As someone else pointed out, the rioters, for all their badass talk, were sent running back to Portland by a lone 17yo from Illinois, who shot some of them.
I wonder if she’s asked herself if any patriots have her coordinates and are just waiting for the failure of the rule of law?
She needs to be careful pushing for violence.
An old strategy is to “remove the head of the snake.” That should include anyone pushing for violence against innocent people.
Yet another reason why I do not recognized the University of California. A shame, since Berkeley once had one of the best physics programs.
are you going to be in front leading the charge, angela? or will you be hiding in a cnn studio providing commentary?
Angela Davis bought the guns used in the Marin County Shootout in 1970. The judge was murdered in this shootout.
The FBI had her dead to rights, but they got cocky and screwed up the case so bad she walked.

You had your revolution, Angela. How’d that work out?
Whether it is rehearsal or the main event depends entirely on how far they can get with it.
She was wearing a wig way back when, too.
I have a wife entering her 70s that is a blond with no coloring, bleach, tinting or other tricks.
will they take our bank accounts?...our houses?
will use lose your SS if you don't speak their narrative?
I’ll try to remember to put her on the naughty list.
