This wakes an echo in me of a really stupid, even vicious, post on some list recently -- a post which set King and Malcolm as contraries. That is part of the old sectarian shit of dividing left movements. It is truly despicable. No movement of any sort will flourish without BOTH 'Kings' and 'Malcolms.' MKL and Malik themselves _never_ made this sort of divide.
