| bnolsen said: The "american" right is very different from a "european" right. It's much more libertarian. The nazi party was big into gun control, publicly run education, publicly run health care, access to abortion, pretty much all american left check boxes, and yes, very socialist. People on the US seem to forget that the Democratic party always stood for racism, segretation, etc. MLK was solidly a republican himself. Something about people taking responsibility for themselves and their families.

Nope MLK Jr started out having no strong political affiliations with either parties and ended up supporting the Democratic Party towards the end of his live. By the end of his life he was seen as a radical by both parties and that is probably one of the main reasons he was assinated he was planning a poor peoples march on Washington before he got killed that would have put both parties and the entire country in a bad spotlight. MLK Sr on the other hand started out as Republican and then switched over to being a Democrat after the party helped his son out when he got jailed.
