In the 1930s, the Communist Party organized approximately 12,000 Black sharecroppers in Alabama's "Black Belt" by promising self-determination and land. The hosts argue that the failure of the U.S. to provide atonement for slavery created a "hotbed" for Marxist ideologies to take root within Black communities. They draw a direct line from these historical movements to modern organizations like Black Lives Matter Inc., which they describe as being led by "trained Marxists" exploiting unresolved racial grievances.
