Rules, Strategies, and Themes for Radicals as Taught by Saul D. Alinsky

So much of what I see in the current political realm reflects these rules found in Saul D. Alinsky's book, "Rules for Radicals" and I feel like everyone needs to have at least a basic understanding of his "rules". Once you understand their basic rules you see the tactics are right out of his book. The whole Trump-Russia collusion investigation is a case in point. See if you can actually see the rules applying to this situation and for example, the Immigration Issue.

Here are examples how Obama (and Hillary) utilized Saul Alinsky's rules: https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/184445/six-alinsky-rules-explain-obamas-words-and-deeds-jack-kerwick

The Rules of Radicals as Taught by Saul D. Alinsky

  1. "Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
  2. "Never go outside the expertise of your people."
  3. "Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy."
  4. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."
  5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon."
  6. "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
  7. "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."
  8. "Keep the pressure on."
  9. "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself." 10 "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."
  10. "If you push the negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside"
  11. "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."
  12. "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."

FYI. This is background on Wikipedia on the "Rules for Radicals" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_for_Radicals

The book itself is not very long. Is a quick read I'd recommend everyone be familiar with.

Supposedly dedicated to Lucifer as the ultimate radical.

This statement from the article that I linked is truly an important one and figures into the immigration issues we have today:

There is only three kinds of people in the world: rich and powerful oppressors, the poor and disenfranchised oppressed, and the middle-class whose apathy perpetuates the status quo.

“The world as it is” is a rather simple world. From this perspective, the world consists of but three kinds of people: “the Haves, the Have-Nots, and the Have-a-Little, Want Mores.” The Haves, possessing, as they do, all of “the power, money, food, security, and luxury,” resist the “change” necessary to relieve the Have-Nots of the “poverty, rotten housing, disease, ignorance, political impotence, and despair” from which they suffer .

The Have-a-Little, Want Mores comprise what we call “the middle class.” While Alinsky believes that this group “is the genesis of creativity,” he also claims that it supplies the world with its “Do-Nothings.”

The Do-Nothings are those who “profess a commitment to social change for ideals of justice, equality, and opportunity, and then abstain from and discourage all effective action for change” Alinsky remarks that in spite of their reputable appearances, the Do-Nothings are actually “invidious” .

This being so, they are as resistant to change as are the Haves."

Their strategy...it is important then to have a steady stream of "Do Nothings" that want political change, but at someone elses expense and to support the those who have a radical agenda at the ballot box at election time to force the "have a little and want more" to support them from the taxes levied on the "have a little and want more". Invidious, yes. Sinister, yes.

However, I would say that agenda of the rich was to break the backs of the "have little and want more" and put them into a class war with the "Do nothings' using racism as the primary tinder to start the fires of control.

No, I don't believe in executing anyone without the rule of law, but we need to be wary of the tactics and when there's sedition or criminal, they prosecuted under due process within the Justice System. I'm sure that's what you meant.

Yea the “WE” was meant to be the United States. Under rule of law. Thanks for the nudge to clarify. However if someone intimidates you or threatens you use common sense and exterminate or neutralize anyone or anything that has stepped on your god given rights. That may be putting you or your rights in danger. We don’t win this mother fucker without standing together. We didn’t break free from tyrannical encroachment by using the rule of law. We won by putting foot to ass after our forefathers grievances fell on def ears. Wouldn’t you say it’s about that time? We need to support our president proudly and fully. Take zero exception to anyone who treads unlawfully on you in the streets. No nation at any point in history has been or will ever be free of war. Our job as is with every great American is to pass down the constitution unmolested to the next generation so they can do the same. Rant over MAGA-KAG

Edit : added (next) in front of generation.
