It has the same philosophy as Marxism (which it derives from). Marxism is the philosophy that individuals are to be judged by group identity and violence must be used to ensure control and distribution such that no identity is better or worse off than another.

Many people who today think of themselves as left are not (or just marginally so) and instead are confused liberals (even some confused conservatives). Marxists have successfully co-opted the liberal label. Marxist abolition of private property has transformed into heavy taxation redistribution and heavy bureaucrat regulation of private property. Marxist class warfare has turned into a smorgasbord of identity warfare, mostly race and sex warfare. The tactics are different but the strategy and principles are the same.

Much of the confusion began when Marxists in Germany were fighting Marxists in Russia, and many in the West thought that must mean they were of different ideology. They were not. They were both socialists and both followed the same Marxist doctrine. The German version (fascism) was just national oriented and the Russian version (communism) was international oriented. Both were deeply Marxist. Marxism and "the left" became naturally intertwined since Marxism is atheist and big government while the Christian God was theist and small government and inhabited the "right".

If you would like to dissect Black Lives Matter, it is the perfect recent example of the merger of Marxism and leftism in America.

I'll be doing some research on this. I truly want to see where you are coming from with this opinion
