Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò had the most beautiful thread on MLK last night, on how he viewed capitalism. America as a building already on fire, deep into crisis. And needing to be the firemen, needing to directly work to make the state actually help the poor, becoming a force for good rather than promoting the tensions of capital that are set up to only ever hurt the non capital rich (the poor) more and more. Amazing thread.
> we live in a failed system. Capitalism does not permit an even flow of economic resources. With this system, a small privileged few are rich beyond conscience and almost all others are doomed to be poor at some level.

Strong recommend!! So many great things from following Olúfẹ́mi but I found this to be such an incredible view, such an amazing story, from shortly before King's murder.
