MLK and Democratic Socialism
As we celebrate the MLK holiday on the anniversary of his birthday, let us reflect on how the legacy of King went behind civil rights for African-Americans and went to the core of the democratic socialist vision of freedom, justice & equality-political and economic as well as social. Dr. King not only spoke out against racism and racial inequality, but class inequality. He called for a redistribution of wealth. He opposed militarism and the Vietnam War. He supported the "war on poverty" along with socialists like DSA founder Michael Harrington, but was critical of the U.S. government, both Democrats and Republicans, for not going far enough to address the social problems of poverty and inequality in American society.
