ONLY the working class know the truth about their own lives . This TRUTH is communicated person to person in the living rooms, bar rooms, the work place, the houses of worship. TRUTH spreads exponentially even with crude means.

      As Karl Marx said : " the ruling ideas are ideas of the ruling class ". No capitalist owned news media can be trusted to tell the truth . When Black Muslim Malcolm X spoke out against police brutality against poor black people he knew that only their own neighborhood newspapers -and a few radical SOCIALIST newspapers - would tell the whole truth. That was way back in 1965 .
The Anti-War movement in the Vietnam War era learned likewise.
Don't trust capitalist politicians and don't trust the capitalist news media.
My favorite Malcolm X quote : " Show me a capitalist and I'll show you a bloodsucker ". And Malcolm knew his words applied to many slum lords leeching the black community.
Neither Malcolm X nor Martin Luther King had any faith in the goodness of American capitalism.
