Malcolm X Political views on the 12 axes

Called for Black communities to control the politics, schools and businesses of their own neighbourhoods, a lean toward local power and Federal.

His 1964 speech 'The Ballot or the Bullet' urged Black Americans to register and vote as a bloc to win real political power.

In 1957 he led a crowd to a Harlem police station to demand care for a beaten Muslim man, and he denounced police brutality, a lean toward Freedom.

Modelled the Organization of Afro-American Unity on the Organization of African Unity and sought to take Black Americans' case to the United Nations.

Defended armed self-defence against racist violence 'by any means necessary', though he never led an armed movement, a slight lean toward Militarist.

Urged Black communities to own their own businesses and spend their money among themselves, a slight lean toward Protectionist.

In his last year he grew critical of capitalism and spoke well of the socialist paths of some newly independent African states, a lean toward Equality.

Built his politics on faith, first as a Nation of Islam minister and then as a Sunni Muslim after his 1964 pilgrimage to Mecca.

Challenged the racial order of the United States and celebrated Black culture, while the Nation of Islam he preached for kept strict moral and family rules.

Rejected integration into white society and urged Black Americans to keep a separate identity rooted in African heritage, a strong stance toward Multiculturalist.
