Re: NOI & socialism

[Louis N Proyect <lnp3@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So the NOI produced Malcolm X and his killer. There have been
internecine murders within oppositional political groups for the longest
time. What I am interested in is whether or not the NOI is fascist. Does
the murder of Malcolm X demonstrate anything other than his willingness
to kill political opponents? Everybody from Brutus to Noriega has killed
political enemies, but doing so does not make them a fascist.
