That posting was sent to me by a long-time subscriber who did not want to be 
involved in the discussion. I should have trimmed their comment at the front 
because I don't expect they will respond or send me a response.

Personally, I don't think MLK needs any apologies. It's no surprise that 
someone who chose to be a Baptist minister wouldn't be in agreement with Marx, 
Engels, Lenin or Trotsky, the Communist Manifesto or Das Kapital. And I would 
expect MLK to need to clarify his position on communism as he was pivoting to 
demand US withdrawal from Vietnam. In that speech, he clearly addressed his 
position on communism - in 1967, as he was demanding that the US end the war on 
Communist-led Vietnam.
