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.

just had an exam today comrades, and, because its all digital, distanced and seperate, they where basically forced to let me use my full dyslexia extra time - WITH a “just incase the technology fucks up” grace period too. I actually fully finished an exam - and i think i might have done okay :comfy:
Watching the Chud boards go into a full Copium cascade with “Biden is Trump” is confirming that this is indeed the funniest timeline, because Biden will do nothing and nix every possible progressive agenda, and the Qanons will take it as confirmation they’re right and Trump is still in charge.
After the immense amount of anti-China spam, I think the most obvious tell that the reddit news defaults are massively astroturfed by the intelligence services is the sheer amount and popularity of Alexei Navalny coverage
Yeah, I was under the impression Navalny wasn’t that important in the eys of many Russians, all of a sudden I kept hearing about him on the radio and TV lately…
Free market neoliberals who still want to emulate the West have basically been entirely discredited and marginalized in Russian politics for over two decades.
Navalny’s just the latest in a long line of “anti-corruption reformers” who becomes the darling of the moment for Western media coverage and lionized into some type of high-profile populist. In reality his party is almost entirely irrelevant and his only personal foray into politics was a run for mayor of Moscow where he got ~20% of the vote.
He’s also serving the purpose of attempted assassinations of Russian dissidents getting flattened and pinned on Putin by Western media. See also: Sergei Skripal. These low-level players piss off some oligarch or mafia boss or another and get merked by poison, which Western media then mutates into being “Putin’s calling card” and using as an excuse for tightening the national security state against the spooky Russian spies. Almost no actual evidence ever surfaces that Putin was responsible.
Update: My boss and his pet HR goon are both out of the office today, only us grunts (who are disproportionately poc) are in on MLK day it seems.
