Best of G&R: Martin Luther King's Radicalism and the Limits of the Liberal State (G&R 133) - a podcast by Green and Red

In celebration of MLK's 93rd birthday, we're re-posting two episodes about Martin Luther King Jr. Here's the first one from April 4th, 2020, the 52nd anniversary of his assassination. 

In this episode, Bob and Scott get into the politics of Martin Luther King and how he's WAY more radical than most people realize. 

Today, everyone from the Libertarian  Party to the anti-abortion movement to tech companies in Silicon Valley trying to sell you their ideology or latest gadgets by claiming his legacy.  In truth, MLK fought and opposed "the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism  (i.e. capitalism), and militarism" until the end of his life.  While many look at the surface levels of MLK's politics and legacy, Green and  Red goes deep into the real substance of who he was.
