Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

Comrade King was a Democratic Socialist reverend who fulfilled a critical role in bringing about many civil rights for minority Americans.

Despite being bullied by the FBI into denouncing communism, he still openly associated with communists and labor organizers. Dr. King additionally opposed American imperialism in Vietnam.

Dr. King’s last book, Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community? (libgen link) is a firmly anti-capitalist work that advocates for the better treatment of impoverished Americans through radical policies.

Here’s an audio recording of King’s last speech. Here’s the timestamp for the last two minutes of it if you’re a lib.

King’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail is mandatory reading for the honky horde, and it is perfect to quote and reference when engaging with lib brained racists.

And, because King was a Christian minister, it seems only right to bring up something biblical. Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount is a very relevant part of King’s politics, so it can be read here in Matthew chapters 5 to 7.

"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.
