Subtitle: Alinsky Lives. Don’t look for fundamental principles in Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. You won’t find them. In her 1969 college thesis, Hillary admitted frustration in trying to make sense of his inconsistencies. So, as the title implies, Alinsky doesn’t expound on philosophical nostrums, but rather delivers tactics with which to tear down institutions.
The danger of adherence to principles of any sort is that they typically harden into the straightjacket of dogma, and dogma is counter-productive to change. Dogmatic ideology locks its adherents into an unchanging course of thought in a rapidly changing world. Ideology stifles free thought and the creative mind of man. Alinsky was so opposed to dogma, he denied allegiance to, or membership in, the communities he organized!
To Alinsky, there is no objective truth. Those who believe they have the truth darken the outside world with cruelty, pain, and injustice.
As opposed to the enduring and timeless principles in our Declaration of Independence, Alinsky’s philosophy goes little further than optimism in change, in revolution. He finds change for the sake of change in an unlikely clause from the Preamble to our Constitution, “to promote the general welfare.” This radical is expert at pulling quotes and phrases from the Bible and Founding era, and then twisting them into dangerous social justice nonsense. As a spellbound Hillary Rodham wrote, “His are the words used in our schools and churches, by our parents and their friends, by our peers. The difference is that Alinsky really believes in them and recognizes the necessity of changing the present structures of our lives in order to realize them.” Just as the best deceptions are built around kernels of truth, Alinsky skillfully warps the tenets of our founding into justification for societal destruction.

Marx is dead. Alinsky is dead. Clinton and Piven are on the way out.
I thought you were inviting us to share our ancestors.
I will anyway. I recently discovered I have two from Virginia,one a colonist, one a Hession serving the British.
"Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." There is no defense. It's irrational. It's infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
Thanks PG, I hope my analysis is wrong. In part III, I’ll look at how the Alinsky Left treats the middle-class.
Yes. A very good point.
