The boot-licking of Paul Robeson for Stalin is nauseating, given the millions of people he murdered.

Just wow. But hey, the leftists say, Paul Robeson was an oppressed black artist in America.

A very quick check reveals that:

According to ABC11, Thompson is a “member of the far-left Workers World Party.”

An activist. Well connected? Charged with a misdemeanor.

She will be convicted. The mayor and city council are po’d because she robbed them of the opportunity to destroy the statue.

One of the activists who toppled a Confederate statue in Durham, N.C., on Monday night is a member of an extreme leftist group that supports the totalitarian regime in North Korea and wants to abolish capitalism.

Taqiyah Thompson, a student at North Carolina Central University, was arrested Tuesday following a press conference in which she defended the actions of the demonstrators and equated police officers to Confederate soldiers and Ku Klux Klan members. She said:

“I did the right thing. Everyone who was there — the people did the right thing. The people will continue to keep making the right choices until every Confederate statue is gone, until white supremacy is gone. That statue is where it belongs. It needs to be in the garbage.”

Thompson is a member of the Worker’s World Party (WWP), a revolutionary Marxist-Leninist group originally formed in 1959 as a hard-line offshoot of the more moderate Socialist Workers Party. In addition to supporting a wide range of far-left causes, the group also defends the North Korean regime of dictator Kim Jong-un against alleged U.S. imperialism.

"...Taqiyah Thompson..."

Boy, that sure is a coincidence (not): Dictionary definition of Taqiyah: "The practice of denying one's religion, permissible when one is faced with persecution, especially by Sunnites: regarded as a means of protecting the religion."

Yeah. Scumbags. Their ideology is responsible for millions more deaths than slavery in the USA ever was. Now, I would guess in addition to allying herself with communists, she also allies herself with Islam.

What a surprise.

Racist Black Liberation Theology Anarchists have a lot of ugly things crawling around inside them when you scratch the surface.

Takiyah ...name is “Lie to the Infidels” Thompson

But Communists believe that any religion at all is the "opiate of the masses" and to banned, making her an infidel. So it seems like she's lying to herself in an infinite loop of revolutionary rage. How can this be?

United in Hate: The Left's Romance with Tyranny and Terror, by Jamie Glazov explains how Communist and Islamic Terrorists work together to assuage their hate of America.
