But consider this:
“Alinsky’s “rules” are for those who want to change the world from what it is – to what they believe it should be, ignoring what the people want.
“The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power,” Alinsky wrote. “Rules for Radicals was written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away.” His success derives from his campaigns to sow seeds of class warfare and discontent — convincing the populace to fight the power and privilege of the “Establishment” — as the root of all their “problems.”
“ aim for community organizers is to bait the opposition. “The enemy, properly goaded and guided into reacting, will be your major strength,” Alinsky penned. He believed in creating unrest by searching out controversial issues and convincing people they could actually effect change.”
The fruits of all this in today’s society are all too easy to see- Antifa, BLM, expungement of freedom of speech and freedom of expression especially in places (colleges and universities) where they should flourish, absurd “politically correct” perversion of language, etc.
