In 1968 Matin Luther King sounded like an Old Testament preacher - like Amos, for example ?

Fifty years since the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.

Excellent article on Martin Luther King . If the quotes I read are accurate he did say that America must move in the direction of " democratic socialism ". In an early letter to his wife :

[“I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic… [Capitalism] started out with a noble and high motive… but like most human systems it fell victim to the very thing it was revolting against. So today capitalism has out-lived its usefulness.” – Letter to Coretta Scott, July 18, 1952. ]

Martin Luther King was as cynical of American capitalism as Malcolm X : Said Malcolm, " Show me a capitalist and I'll show you a blood sucker " .

             Imagine if influential atheist or agnostic " left " intellectuals in the 1960s snubbed the Rev. Martin Luther King because he sounded too much like an Old Testament preacher ? Like Amos, for example ?

Martin Luther King had the spirit of Amos
