The autobiography concludes its section on this conversation interestingly:
"I [Harry Belafonte] felt as if our moorings were unhinging. "Damn, Martin! If that's what you think, what would you have us do?" I asked.
He gave me a look. "I guess we're just going to have to become firemen.""

the famous quote is from the end of his reply to Young. from the middle:
"...we live in a failed system. Capitalism does not permit an even flow of economic resources. With this system, a small privileged few are rich beyond conscience and almost all others are doomed to be poor at some level."

Young replies: ""Well, I don't know, Martin. It's not the entire system. It's only part of it, and I think we can fix that."
King's reply begins: "I don't need to hear from you, Andy," he said. "I've heard enough from you. You're a capitalist, and I'm not."
