Your first two sentences are contradictory. Was it his way or violence,as you say, then he could not be violent. He is not responsible for the other groups who advocated violence just as he is not responsible for the violence aimed at him.

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.

------------------------

ammend the statement to say it was his superficially DECLARED way of non-violence. What he was proposing was what centential or Boolean logicians call alternation in a form so that the alternative became as validated as the superficially stated goal or method.

He also advocated a national minimum $6,400 income to be paid by the government through taxation of the wealthy. That's the equivant of about $35,000 today. He was a straight-out Marxist and revolutionary.
