[a fool in paradise]

In the past week, I saw several articles (from liberals) regardling MLK. Every now and then there would be a single line “critics said he was aligned with Communists” or “they called him a Communist”.

Never did see any evidence offered to COUNTER the assertion that MLK was increasingly aligned with Communists and making Marxist claims of labor inequality.

It “enough” that his critics accused him of Communist sympathies therefore they were “bad”.

WOW! That’s hard to believe that the “lyin’ king” would associate with commies and socialists. Hmmmm. Didn’t his grandparents belong the the little red church before moving to Hey-why-he?

"He said the progressive politics that inspired him to work in a Black Panthers clinic and march with King were more a product of geography than a hard-fought revelation.

'I had the good fortune of being surrounded by progressive people,' Young said of growing up in Hyde Park during the Great Depression when there were still more than 100 outspoken communists in the neighborhood."
