I just showed you that there is a communist party in the US against it.

There is nothing to argue.
The Nobel Peace prize was awarded to someone that drops bombs on innocent civilians also. A goofy website doesn't really prove much of anything.

Hardly "goofy" and they are behind all the protests you have seen regarding social issues.
A "goofy" political organization with a "goofy" website that has deep pockets and are making inroads in creating huge divides among Americans.

It really doesn't bother me that you are unaware that people really are pissed. I've noted this before, the same arguments were made about the Tea Party and Koch brothers. They didn't make so many inroads into elected offices because of the Koch brothers.

Don't kill people over selling smokes on the street and there is nothing to divide.

Pissed or not - the bulk of the protesters are being used.

It doesn't actually.

What I feel is more like pity for the protesters (especially the dumb college kids) who think they're participating in a grassroots movement when actually the whole thing has been (and continues to be) coordinated by people with deep pockets.

But if you helps YOU feel better to think that those kids out there are participating in some organic groundswell , more power to you. Who am I to insist that you remove the wool from over your own eyes.

This thing is being orchestrated by the Communist and anarchist youth. The blacks are the pawns (useful idiots) once again.
Blacks aren't anybody's pawns in these protests. Contrary to conservative talking points, blacks are protesting for change, and other races (including whites) are protesting in support right along with us. I know it might be strange to some of you conservatives out there, but people often protest against wrongs together, regardless of race. Conservative causes are usually supported by a homogeneous group, so I see why this might be a little different than what you're used to...

(P.S. You say ANSWER, but your "flaming gun" is PLP, a different group.)
Correct. ANSWER is Trotskyite, while the PLP is Maoist. While both have similar views on many issues, they don't exactly get along too well.

You bought into the false narrative. That is your problem not mine.
