To what extent did Malcolm X advocate violence?
Post Body

I feel like there's a lot of public confusion over what exactly Malcolm X believed and advocated when it comes to violence. Some people have told me that he essentially organized the KKK of blacks (which is obviously untrue), but others claim that he only advocated violence in cases where it was absolutely necessary for self-defense.

So, what were Malcolm X's views on violence? And what did he mean by "If you have a cocked fist, you don't have to throw it." Is he referring to a micropolitical version of power projection?
