Martin Luther King was a Socialist!

Your history textbooks may have you convinced he was a blind patriot and arch conservative. They were wrong. Martin Luther King was a socialist, and the following clips show him talking extensively about the need to redistribute wealth and "economic power", the right to a job, and the dignity of the working class.

Martin Luther King has been re-cast for public consumption by the very government that fought against him and made him miserable while alive.

@freedomwalkers Socialism isn't the welfare state or a redistribution of wealth. It is about the creators of wealth (the proletariat) enjoying the wealth that they (and themselves alone) create. We have a redistribution of wealth--from the working poor to the idle capitalist rich. The workers have to do it themselves. You can't count on a politician or a businessman or a writer. You have to organize and take back the power--peacefully if you can, violently if you must.

@freedomwalkers Socialists believe not in equal results, but we believe in both equal opportunity and EQUAL MEANS. Because without equal means, there can be no equal opportunity.

@DrBandrew how is he spreading socialism?

[dubified89]

@TruthSeeker24 Yeah well most people who live a comfortable life don't do so via human compassion, they do so by providing goods and services that other people feel improve their lives so they voluntarily exchange money for them.

@jayleeb1 Yea, typical lame response that I expected.

@whiteguy212006 Down with your stupid comment.

[whiteguy212006]

Down with democratic socialism, down with affirmative action, and down with the equal lie, that has been imposed on us.

@merchan5967 And we believ in defeating Socialism by any means.

[ninjapirate0507]

@perdondaris It requires redistribution of the wealth to enact though, but this is good because it's giving the wealth back to the working class that created it.

That is how the rest of the world thinks about him. I am not surprised that his reality has been doctored in the US.
