We must recognize that we can’t solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power… this means a revolution of values and other things. We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together… -MLK jr

I’m happy to have the Friday after Thanksgiving off too, but don’t for second think I don’t notice that it’s Juneteenth and MLK day that we “gave up.”
davel [he/him] ( @davel@lemmy.ml ) English12•6 months agoI’m sorry but only pre-approved, whitewashed, milquetoast quotes from radicals our government assassinated are allowed.
During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred and the most unscrupulous campaigns of lies and slander. After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a certain extent for the “consolation” of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it.
