Socialists can learn from M.L. King's " Letter from a Birmingham jail "

Discussion on World Socialist Web Site   

Successful campaign meeting for Niles Niemuth in Wyandotte, Michigan

 
" A central focus of Niles' opening remarks and the subsequent discussion was the conditions facing the working class and how workers can organize to oppose exploitation and inequality "
Best wishes to Niles Niemuth campaign in Michigan. A simple appeal to the SOCIAL JUSTICE sense of the masses of working class Americans is bound to build the titanic social force that will end greedy capitalism.

            Last night I read Martin Luther King's less famous " Letter from a Birmingham Jail ". I was impressed how the slain civil rights leader was reaching out to all people and organizations ( not just Southern black churches ) with a heart and soul - no matter how timid - for SOCIAL JUSTICE.


 Nowhere does he show contempt for LAW or winks at self-defeating violence. He patiently explains -often in the language of ancient Christianity - that LAW must also be JUST.

          The socialist movement is just as capable of making waves in a much broader community. Who with a social conscience can support the soul-less plutocracy ?
