Minneapolis has lasted a lot longer and gotten more people killed than Portland. The real take is: you need both. MLK Jr. gets no traction without Malcolm X.
There were far more ICE agents deployed in Minneapolis than there were in Portland. Why was the image of the self immolating monk so powerful in protest to the Vietnam war? Malcom X’s ideology actually softened over the years before he was killed, he even saw that all out violence is not the answer. Peaceful protest is the only way this ends well for any of us
MLK was closer to Malcom X's position than Malcolm X was to MLK's position at time of death.
King’s commitment to nonviolence never wavered. He truly believed in peaceful disobedience. He became disillusioned with gradually progressivism but that’s not the same thing at all. Of course Malcom X still rejected nonviolence but his philosophy is a dead end and it was already falling apart in his lifetime
