Must reading for " Black Lives Matter " activists

       The young black activists who  are a collective voice for the " Black Lives Matter " movement lack the political sophistication and political literacy of the older generation of  50s-60s black civil rights activists. 

  If they just studied the speeches of Malcolm X , read his  " Autobiography " , they will see with what cynicism Malcolm X regarded our still decrepit TWO PARTY SYSTEM . Malcolm X had no use for " liberal " Democrats .  He made a connection between racism and capitalism, between racism and American imperialism .

 My favorite Malcolm X quote : " Show me a capitalist and I will show you a bloodsucker ". And his close friend back then, the  champion  Black Muslim boxer" Cassius Clay " said ,opposing the criminal Vietnam War and the draft : " No Vietcong ever called me [ N-word ] " 

                The " Black Lives Matter " activists - white and black - would find  Marx's " Communist Manifesto " and Vladimir Lenin's " State and Revolution " very instructive : police brutality  is institutionalized in the capitalist STATE . 

  The plutocracy controls the TWO PARTY SYSTEM.  The Democrats and Republicans support capitalism and militarism.   Striking white workers are just as readily gunned down as " disorderly " blacks. The American prison system, the " American Gulag ", is a nightmare for prisoners of all races and ethnic groups

    And the FBI is implicated in the assassination of both Malcolm X and Martin Luther King ( who in 1968 was leaning toward socialism , supporting striking garbage workers,  and opposing the Vietnam War ) .

              But the Democrats are more phony !   Without a viable anti-capitalist third party in the USA it is wiser  for working class Americans in the 2020 election to stay home   and NOT vote !
