Many people see BLM as a conduit for the redistribution of power and wealth towards minorities and thus communist.

Ignorant and ill-informed people, yes.
An unfortunately popular sentiment nonetheless.
Are you hinting that wanting to reduce inequalities makes you a communist ?
> A large portion of our society

As evidenced by three anecdotes?

Do you really think that is a rare sentiment?
Americans calling people they don't like "communists" got to be the funniest thing ever....

"Fox news", "Rudy Giuliani", I mean... if you can't see the obvious political propaganda here I don't think we can find a middle ground. The same people who say "antifa" is an organised terrorism group but won't say anything about the capitol insurrection...
