Attaching one’s cause to a Neo Nazi rally is really really really dumb. It basically guaranteed that the statues were going to come down when in reality the Mayor and city council were doing what they could to keep the statues in place.
The removal of historical statues was just then happening. It was new. It offended many but then you have people like yourself, who associate their love of their country’s history, with white supremacy and I’m sure it intimidates many. I’m glad that some have more courage to stand up for what they believe in, in spite of hearing obnoxious labels from those just sitting on the sidelines.
I would make the case that BLM has evolved from Marxism to a form of Fascism. They appear to have adapted Fascist ideas related to racial and ethnic struggle as being much more important than class struggle found in traditional Marxism.
