    You clearly need to educate yourself on the panthers. I suggest starting with Newton’s revolutionary suicide, and the book “black against empire”. The founders were explicitly Marxist-Leninists, read everything they could by Lenin, Marx, Stalin, Engels, supported Cuba, China (even sold mao’s red book to raise funds), visited China, etc.

    • they didn’t promote themselves as maoists especially not at first it was about black liberation, alot of people were surprised to learn including their own members they had such socialist views. The news declared them the black version of the KKK if you recall

        Do less talking, and more reading, from people who founded or were in the party, like what I suggested to you above. What the news said about the panthers is almost entirely false.

        • ive actually read alot from them, obviously more than you, maybe go back and look at some old news reels of how the black panthers were portrayed in the media

            Why do you think you know better than literally everyone else on this website?

            Why are you suggesting that someone should watch racist media as a response to them saying that the media was lying?

            Why do you think it’s acceptable to say that comrades are spreading “neo nazi” conspiracy theories by talking about the explicitly socialist writings of Panther leaders?

            Why do you keep saying how much you listen to Tupac as if that has anything to do with what he was like outside of his music?

                Pardon me? I’m the one twisting your words?

                After you responded to me calling the Panthers socialist with some nonsense about how I must believe every protest organisation is communist?

                And are you now being ableist? Insulting me by calling me mentally unstable?

                I noticed you’ve done that in other comments as well. Do you have something you’d like to get off your chest about mental illness? Do you have a problem with people who are disabled or mentally ill?
