   This is true.
   
   The woman who is an avowed Marxist and co-founder of BLM purchased a $1.4 million dollar home in a predominantly white neighborhood in Los Angeles. 
   
   "Patrisse Khan-Cullors, the leader of Black Lives Matter and a self-described Marxist, recently purchased a $1.4 million home in an exclusive Los Angeles neighborhood where the vast majority of residents are white, according to reports.
   
   The home, which features three bedrooms and three bathrooms, is nestled in Topanga Canyon and has a separate guesthouse on the property, according to a celebrity real estate blog which reported the transaction last week."
   
   Khan-Cullors, 37, signed a multi-platform deal with Warner Bros in October, although it is not clear how much she is paid by BLM since their finances flow through a complex web of for-profit and nonprofit corporate entities."

   I wonder how the people who contributed to BLM feel about this?
   
   What about the Marxist theory of equality for all?  She seems like she just may be more equal than others.
   
   I wonder if the word hypocrisy should apply here?

      She may well have talent in her own right to have earned the sums involved, but I am suspicious as these actions (purchasing of high end real estate) on her part are contrary to the ideals expressed as part of BLM.

      She is buying lots of homes... As protests broke out across the country in the name of Black Lives Matter, the group’s co-founder went on a real estate buying binge, snagging four high-end homes for $3.2 million in the US alone, according to property records.
      
      Patrisse Khan-Cullors, 37, also eyed property in the Bahamas at an ultra-exclusive resort where Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods both have homes, The Post has learned. Luxury apartments and townhouses at the beachfront Albany resort outside Nassau are priced between $5 million and $20 million, according to a local agent.

            Cullors permitted the power that she had go to her head.  Cullors believe that she was self-important & as an evidence of her self-importance, she decided that if was her right to use the money as she will.  So she DID. However, she will be investigated for fraudulent use of allocated monies.

   A confirmed Marxist.  Makes you wonder what the adjusted definition to the word is.
   
   But, hey. She says the right things, according to leftist ideology, so she's going to get the standard pass for hypocrisy.

      I'm not sure what being a Marxist has to do with buying an expensive home...except to note that every form of ideology has the upper end getting more than the lower end.  In reality, that is, as opposed to lip service that no one follows.
      
      Capitalism, Communism, Socialism, Marxism, anarchy - whatever you choose those at the top live better lives.

         Don't you think as a "dedicated" Marxist she would want to be an example of Marxism rather than capitalism?  She is benefiting greatly from an ideology she opposes.  Her expensive home and lifestyle are a result of capitalism.  Seems a bit hypocritical

            No.  As a "dedicated" Marxist, living at the top of the heap, she has no intention or desire to drop back to what those beneath her have, or would have under Marxism.
            
            But as a Marxist at the top, she would have far more, and far more power, than she does under capitalism.

               +10000000000000.  Yes she is an avowed Marxist but she is also a poor girl who made good.   Poor people who progress to the top of the socioeconomic ladder aren't about to give up their newly achieved status.  Poor people who have become wealthy, don't want to regress into being poor again. As the old saying goes, I have been poor & I have been rich & RICH IS BETTER.

                  Being rich has nothing to do with it, and neither does having been poor at an earlier time.
                  
                  It's all about the hypocrisy of proclaiming that all should be equal in wealth while at the same time being far wealthier than most and refusing that "from each according to their ability" part.
