He wasn’t a socialist (I think?) so he wasn’t a leftist. And he wasn’t a conservative obviously.

He was absolutely a socialist and that’s why he was killed.

He just seemed like a radical and well-intentioned liberal. “We’ll do peaceful marches to achieve equality.” I guess it worked so you can’t blame him.

Maybe advocating violence or calling for the downfall of the capitalist system wouldn’t have done anything.

I dunno.
