Well, whatever political label King chose, he was a much more complex man than that, and absolutely was no "conservative" in the Reagan mold.

He was strongly influenced by socialist doctrines---although at one time he renounced pure socialism---and repeatedly urged programs that could at best be called "redistributionist." He read and followed many of the prescriptions of Gandhi. He absolutely was NOT a communist, and was hounded by the FBI for his communist affiliations (which he did have). But in doctrine, he was far closer to Hillary Clinton than he would be to any of the current crop of Republicans.
