The STATE is no substitute for God -even under Socialism

I am familiar with the speeches of Black Muslim leader Malcolm X on the topic of community self-defense . I am also " educated " -by both Marxist ideology and Catholic social philosophy away from self-appointed street violence..

.. Both Martin Luther King and Malcolm X connected racism with capitalism , connected racism with imperialism. Neither King nor Malcolm were suckered into treacherous Democratic Party politics. As a democratic socialist I can understand why " socialist " Bernie Sanders was warned that the Democratic Party would never take even his milk-toast socialism seriously . Marx said long ago that "the ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class " . Despite some minimal FREE SPEECH rights in the USA SOCIALISM will always be anathema in the mainstream news media.

Sad to see , however , so many " far Left " political parties and organizations embracing Stalinist tactics , rejecting the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. I am beginning to think that SOCIALISM can only be realized by a quasi-religious-humanist movement . The STATE is no substitute for God ! And now in 2020 even SCIENCE is a god that failed.

@Ron Ruggieri I do not suggest threatening or terrorizing anybody. But, when the state and police do it to you, it has to be addressed. Since it is not being addressed, I can understand why some people want to kill them. It has to do with rights, freedoms, and protecting citizens. We should have a civil police force to deal with those matters.
