OUT OF POWER MINORITIES AS WELL AS FOREIGN ENEMIES WHETHER RACE CLASS OR WHATEVER PREY ON SOCIETY'S WEAKNESSES

This was shown to work for Gandhi, who incidentally hated negroes, not loved them, against the Liberal British Empire. 

King used him as a model for his civil rights technique. Call it militant non violence, as noted by the author below. 

I doubt King would have tried it out on Gandhi, trust me. Or Mao! Khruschev! 

The Soviets were at first furious, apparently, that King came along and seemed briefly to queer their successful support for violent negro revolutionary movements like the Panthers, JOMO, Black Muslims, etc. 

But they came to realize that maybe their hopes for an early US breakup had been overly optimistic, and that in fact a long period of quantitative ethnic easing would be necessary to soften America up, combined with the then industrial and commercial hollowing out softening up process already being accomplished by the Japanese and others.

With Clinton esque NAFTA, WTO further hollowing and softening and ethnic easing, also large scale Latino migration (which NAFTA had been supposed to prevent) of color, that does not mix well with anything already here white mulatto or negro, but it was more ethnic quantitative mixing easing, then finally the coup de grace hegemon Ba takeover effort from China, what is left of the US is merely a dark shade of its former self.

Christianity was an Achilles Heel for the West, and especially America. King found that heel easily in the early 60s after the military sucker punch of intervention in Viet Nam War.

The Separation of Church and State made it even easier, to appeal to God's Christian love on the one hand; and to shake the militant protester liberalism of the Godless constitution against conservative opponents objecting to insurrection inspired nevertheless by the founders, on the other.

When watching, think of Mario Savio, Berkeley no different from Mississippi, but King knew where to go for his agenda, baby. 

He was not the New Left, almost in some ways a natural enemy.
