Martin Luther King Jr. Quotes
History May Be A Nightmare - An Endless Cycle Of Violence And Oppression. Old Victims Of Domination Soon Became New Perpetrators Of Domination. We Have Seen This Cycle Over And Over Again: American Revolutionaries Dominating Indigenous Peoples And Defending Slavery, Anti-colonial Heroes Becoming Dictators, Anti-racists Supporting Patriarchy And Homophobia, Liberals Crusading For Imperial Invasion And Occupation. Such A Nightmare Radically Calls Into Question The Power Of Radical Love In Human History. For King, If We Accept Such A Nightmare, Then Only Self-destruction Awaits Us. To Dream Is To Hold Death At Arm's Length. To Love Is To Really Be Alive In History. Without Radical Love, Nihilism Triumphs - "power Without Compassion, Might Without Morality, And Strength Without Sight."1
