The rules work equally well for a right wing group as they do for a left wing group. This is something that many of the lefties don't understand. Now that they are in power we can use all of their best tools on them.

Also by knowing the rules you can defeat them. For example never allow your group to be identified with a single individual. If the individual is taken out then your whole movement goes down the drain. And an individual is much easier to destroy than an idea.

Hey, Machiavelli is good too... for example:

Men Ought Either to be Well Treated or Crushed, because they can avenge themselves of lighter injuries, of more serious ones they cannot;

HE also has a lot to say about a prince acquiring a new territory may have to conquer it twice because the first time it is easier to throw him out. He uses France’s conquest of Milan as an example.

It's also something that a lot of conservatives don't understand. We're at an added disadvantage, though -- unlike ardent leftists, conservatives generally have lives outside of their pet political issues. It makes us impatient and we lose focus.
