You're confusing social programs to uplift people vs your Marxism for dummies study guide.
Nope. Look it up.
“I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic… [Capitalism] started out with a noble and high motive… but like most human systems it fell victim to the very thing it was revolting against. So today capitalism has out-lived its usefulness.” – Letter to Coretta Scott, July 18, 1952
“And one day we must ask the question, ‘Why are there forty million poor people in America? And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising questions about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth.’ When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy. And I’m simply saying that more and more, we’ve got to begin to ask questions about the whole society…” –Speech to Southern Christian Leadership Conference Atlanta, Georgia, August 16, 1967.
“Capitalism forgets that life is social. And the kingdom of brotherhood is found neither in the thesis of communism nor the antithesis of capitalism, but in a higher synthesis.” –Speech to Southern Christian Leadership Conference Atlanta, Georgia, August 16, 1967.
“Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God’s children.” – Speech to the Negro American Labor Council, 1961.
“We must recognize that we can’t solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power… this means a revolution of values and other things. We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together… you can’t really get rid of one without getting rid of the others… the whole structure of American life must be changed. America is a hypocritical nation and [we] must put [our] own house in order.”- Report to SCLC Staff, May 1967.
“The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.” –Speech to SCLC Board, March 30, 1967.
“[W]e are saying that something is wrong … with capitalism…. There must be better distribution of wealth and maybe America must move toward a democratic socialism.” – Speech to his staff, 1966.
I don't have to look up dummy. Are you 25 and have only learned polluted history from Communist proffessors. He was against crony capitalism. You know who else is against crony capitalism. True believers in true capitalism. Keep trying to rewrite history commie. He like most Americans believe in social programs that lift people up to stand on their own two feet. Not your marxists power grab b.s your trying to sell now.
What part of his OWN WORDS than....."I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic".....is proof? Hmmm....
You're an idiot and are taking his words out of context. . Maybe listen to his niece or is she too Uncle Tom for liking ?
Out of context? Nope. His words. Right there.......you are "interpreting" what you want him to say.....but his words are there. Sorry.
No the Communist hijacked his legacy about the same time they hijacked the Democrat Party. You have to be under 30.
Seriously you're dumbass. But keep trying to tie MLK to communism. It's what racist do.
I don't have to. He did that himself. I said nothing other than post his OWN words on the subject. Nothing racist about it. I like Dr. King. Maybe not his multiple infidelities that he committed, but his message was great for everyone. And he was a believer in socialism! Even better! [winking]
Racist like you have been trying to tie him to communism for years to discredit him. Like they do all blacks that don't tow the line. His comments are about crony capitalism and social programs to help people stand on their own two feet. Not your marxists ideology utopia that has killed millions.
So, when he stated that his economic theory was more like socialism than capitalism, that was a misinterpretation of what he meant? Hmm.....
You're really ignorant. He was against crony capitalism. He was pushing a populist capitalism society that included blacks. His words are now used as propaganda. What has become clear is you favored the socialism that became Nazism. Bolsheviks are not pure enough for the likes of you. Yep keeping trying to to tie MLK to the Communist party you fascist.
Boring. And inaccurate. Nazis hated the Bolsheviks. And King loved him some socialism.
Good lord I've explained all this. Both the nazi's and the Russian communist parties grew from the socialism ideas of German born Marx and Engels. Stick with Orange Man Bad.
