This warrants repeating. The Left quickly manifested their true agenda. Not taking down monuments to Confederate historical figures, their true agenda is undermining the legitimacy of the nation itself, by attacking its founders.
Marxists are at the core of the founding of Black Lives Matter, Code Pink, Occupy Wall Street, Antifa and other leftist organizations. Their goal is not "cleansing" the nation of "racists". Their goal is toppling the nation itself, and replacing it with a communist/socialist authoritarian government. One in spirit with Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Che and Mao. Prominent Marxists who they often quote and exult. Including Obama, Hillary Clinton, and many who served in their administrations.
