Like with Gandhi, I don't think Malcolm can really be aligned to any particular political ideology.

He just wanted freedom....then later in life freedom and peace.

The great thing with Malcolm is that there are 2 lives he lived. In the spotlight anyway.

Malcolm X and then Hajj Malik Al-Shabazz.

Like I said, more of a freedom and peace fighter than a Socialist. He, like Gandhi, put morality before politics.

I agree with Socialsmo. I think way to many people are quick to put a label on someone. Malcolm was anti-capitalist, but I wouldn't put the label of socialist or communist on him. Meeting with Fidel would prove his solidarity with the Cuban Revolution and its people as well as wanting to make the struggle for freedom international.

That's it in a nutshell. Revolutionary and freedom fighter, not politician
