I'm with you on this criticism, but I get antsy when I hear people start talking about erasing art from history after the revolution. Book burning is not an element of revolution that some leftists seem to want that I can get behind. I mean, there's exceptions to that I guess, I see no reason not to burn 12 Rules for Life. And copies of Mein Kampf should be limited to a few copies you can check out from Uni libraries if you're doing relevant research and not available to the public. But something like King's works? Let revolutionary education counteract the bad messages there.

It doesn’t need to be burned, but community resources could probably be better spent elsewhere.
Fair enough.
