It's fine that you disagree with King. I disagree with the idea that we lose incentive by ending capitalism. Humans have had other incentives before capitalism, and many of us, like King, use other incentives to care for each other that don't require exploitation

King didn't think so. Capitalism requires the exploitation of the human race, animals, and earth towards the benefit of the few. The anthropocene rose with the emergence of modern capitalism. Capitalism is destroying the earth and humanity

The "direct action" is often left out because the people we protest against wants you to think that non-violence means inaction and it does not. Non-violence also does not mean peaceful. They don't want non-violent direct action. They don't want any action at all

People will remind us that King practiced non-violence. That is a half truth. MLK practice non-violent DIRECT ACTION. He and others physically put their bodies on the line against the U.S. government, against state and local governments, against police.
