All Hail The Revolutionary King: Dr. Martin Luther King is Marching with the People of Palestine

Description

In his article published in CounterPunch, Eric Mann illuminates Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. legacy of anti-imperialism, pro-communism. Eric speaks about Dr. King’s Black revolutionary leadership and shows how King strongly criticized U.S. white supremacist, racist capitalism.

Mann explains that U.S. imperialism and the Democratic Party establishment annually distort King’s legacy into one of simple integration and non-violent submission, rather than acknowledging his radical message and call for a revolutionary worldview to challenge U.S. militarism, racism, poverty, and materialism.

“Today, Palestinian resistance is shaping the politics of the  entire world. In the endless struggle between the U.S., Europe, and Israel against the Third World and the whole world, the Palestinian resistance is on the offensive.  The government of South Africa is bringing formal charges of Genocide against the Israeli government in front of the United Nations. Netanyahu and Israel are defiant, telling the U.S. and Europe “nobody will stop us.” But many Israeli leaders, for the first time, understand that the support from their U.S. and European imperialist defenders is eroding.  Israel, their proxy, is now a liability in the U.S.’ fading hopes for Middle-east domination.  There are significant forces in the U.S. establishment that are speaking out against Israel and resigning in protest over U.S. support for the Israeli genocide against Palestinian people in Gaza.”
