Zucker made a "useful idiot" remark
and it seemed familiar as something HRC had also said
which I couldn't find
but I did find a book about it
and doing research to the origins of this phrase
it turns up as a socialist/communist phrase

Planned Chaos
This new edition of Planned Chaos features a new introduction by Chris Westley of Jacksonville State University. The introduction brings this classic up to date — not that it has ever fallen out of date or ever will.
The title comes from Mises's description of the reality of central planning and socialism, whether of the national variety (Nazism) or the international variety (communism). Rather than create an orderly society, the attempt to central plan has precisely the opposite effect. By short-circuiting the price mechanism and forcing people into economic lives contrary to their own chosing, central planning destroys the capital base and creates economic randomness that eventually ends in killing prosperity.
This important work was written decades after Mises's original essay on economic calculation and includes the broadest and boldest attack on all forms of state control.

May be time to declare Alinsky as an enemy of the United States
and put in the same category as Hitler and Stalin
and thus those who are followers of such philosophy
ALSO enemies of our Constitution and representative government
Alinsky is not a college dormitory fan club
He is a dangerous radical promoting FORCE
and the overthrow of our government
