I'm not an expert on the history of american politics but from what I've read, there is a long line of black american communists (which seems to always conviently get glossed over in the favor of the identity politics narrative) and while UR did employ some of the same signs and visual language, they aren't really part of that line.

I would argue that Black Lives Matter's platform more or less picks up the baton where the Black Panthers left off, in that they've adapted Marxist thought to fit a black nationalist narrative (original Marxist ideas would never be accepted in a black nationalist group that focuses on social justice, especially in a country that still hangs onto McCarthy's communist boogieman).

Wolle is pretty left but not a marxist or anything, he's kinda crazy anyways.
This is the site Szepanski runs now - http://non.copyriot.com/. A lot of his writing is kind of inpenetrable, I speak a bit of Deleuze-Guattarian but you basically have to be fluent to understand what he's saying half of the time

Cheers. Yeah, some of this looks far too sophisticated for a political pleb like me, but there is some commentary on more contemporary issues here, too. Unsurprisingly, it looks like Szepanski backs the recent mess Antifa made at the G20.
