MLK was revisionist (I'm mostly kidding but still)

spoilerThe idea of him being more of a Hegelian than Marx is really funny though

Same thing chomsky-yes-honey and zizek-preference say. It's a Western Left thing: the USSR is proof that Marx went wrong because they're scary authoritarians; yet obviously the analysis is still good so they need to find a way to keep some distance from it while not discarding it wholesale.

I mean, despite probably doing net good Chomsky's an Epstein associate and Zizek's probably an op despite having some insightful cultural critiques. Being insightful about Lacan and Hegel doesn't really mean shit when your entire schtick and reason you get published is being capitalism's "anti-capitalist" "communist." I have several of his books before he got even more craven, but he's functionally capitalism's court jester.
