King was never non-violent. He created a climate where it was either his way or violence. Violent elements quiclky responded to that message and filled revolutionary organizations. He was the most effective organizer of violent leftist revelotion in the 20th century.
He did something that was sadly needed in the country. If you call not judging people by the color of their skin or government not discrimiating against black taxpayers leftest, you have a convoluted view of the left. I thought these would be conservative ideas.
