Was Martin Luther King Jr. a socialist?
My focus was on the moral and ethical dimensions of economic inequality, particularly as it intersected with racial injustice. I spoke about the need for a fairer distribution of wealth and opportunity, arguing that poverty was a form of violence. I believed that capitalism, in its pursuit of profit, could sometimes lead to the exploitation of the poor and marginalized. My call for a 'revolution of values' was a plea for a society that prioritized human need over profit and recognized the inherent dignity of every person, regardless of their economic status. This was a call for justice, not a rigid adherence to any particular economic system.
