“If King were alive today, he’d support AOC, BLM and Antifa.”

You state that as a fact.
What brought you to that conclusion?

Various King quotes I've heard over the years. Conservative cherry pick that favorite "content of character" quote. But King said much else over the years.

You can paint King from radical left to classical liberal, depending on which quotes you cherry pick.

Here are a few other MLK quotes:

“The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and racism. The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power”.

“I think America must see that riots do not develop out of thin air. Certain conditions continue to exist in our society which must be condemned as vigorously as we condemn riots. In the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard."

“White Americans must recognize that justice for black people cannot be achieved without radical changes in the structure of our society.”

“Again we have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that Capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifice. The fact is that capitalism was built on the exploitation and suffering of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor – both black and white, both here and abroad.”
