...going to make the same mistake with Martin Luther King that we did with Castro? Are we going to give King our blessing until he makes his final march into the White House? King today is more powerful politically than Lyndon Johnson, and will not need either the Democrats or the Republicans when he has his army registered.

...different context, "treading between the abysses." That means supporting radical social reform while opposing subservience to the totalitarians. Since admiration for Marxism and enthusiasm for reform are usually linked in the modern world, that means recognizing and supporting indigenous independent Marxists. To the extent that Tito and Castro are independent, reform-minded, and relatively unoppressive rulers, that means maintaining open relations with them...
