A speech given my Malcolm X to the Oxford Union back in the 60s. A raw, powerful and unrelenting speech given by one the fiercest men that ever lived.

Can speech like this with it's razor sharp logic be applied to class where it was once applied to race?

Does anyone have any good speeches I can watch where militants use this type of rhetoric to slice and dice through the class system in America?

What type of laws can we get the government to enforce if the US Constitution nor it's laws ever promoted class equality?

If we had more men like Malcolm X here to explain socialism to the masses the revolution would have happened already.

I've always thought this was a good analogy for the difference between the proletariat and the petty bourgeoisie:
