King gave some speeches where he called communism a totalitarian system but he also criticized what he considered to be a sort of reactive, dogmatic, and unreflective anti-communism that he thought was blinding people. His actual strategy IMO was to adopt the main ideology of the United States and the American people and then go out and provoke the police into attacking his marches as a way of targeting and influencing the minds of moderates. Like freedom of speech and assembly. The whole "I have a dream" thing was to synchronize his own movement with a relatively permanent, longstanding belief in the American Dream which exists in the society with a message directed at white people to "be who you say you are," which created a permission structure for whites to surrender to his movement in a way that felt like a redemption rather than a retreat.
