What a hero

Why Malcolm X is a great figure? What's so great about him?

[@felixflitou]

Oh boy how long do you have? Just read his autobiography, this man has achieved as much for the Black community if not even more than Martin L. King. Even though he started as a separatist, he ended up as one of the most significant humanist figures of mankind. And he got assassinated for it.

Angela Davis stood for Vice President as the Communist Party candidate in 1980. This was long after many left the party due to the odious crimes of the Soviet Union. She is anything but a hero, no matter what some might think of Ronald Regan.

The objective was to redistribute the wealth of individualistic and degenerate capitalists.

Crazy how the crimes of the soviet union don't really matter in this conversation since they were never actually communist (btw I come from one of the baltic states so don't pull the you don't know how bad it was line, I know all about it and yet I have the common knowledge to not equate the soviet union to communism and understand that they used communism as a facade to quite literally be the opposite of leftism)

Yes and the british weren't much better. South Africa was a british colony until 1961. They started apartheid.
