About this episode
America has spent years fighting communism outside its borders, but now a Marxist threat is growing from within the country, Heritage Foundation senior fellow Mike Gonzalez says. Gonzalez, author of “ BLM: The Making of a New Marxist Revolution, ” says the Black Lives Matter organization has encouraged Americans, especially young people, to embrace communist ideology. In 2020, there “were 633 riots … according to the U.S. Crisis Monitor run out of Princeton [University], and 95% of those riots in which we know the identity of the perpetrator ... Black Lives Matter members were included,” Gonzalez says. Through his book, Gonzalez hopes to “open people's eyes” to the true nature of Black Lives Matter. Gonzalez joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the book and why he’s standing against the communist influences in our culture today.
