Well then, now this sounds very different. Maybe you’re talking about some strategy that didn’t really originate from Alinsky. Seems to me he used old ideas and mixed them with a anti-morals philosophy.
As for the rest—here are two basic and extremely different reasons to speak of morals. One, morals for the sake of appearance. Two, for the sake of the morals themselves. My usual assumption is that everyone knows the second is the only consideration.

TACTICS. I’m talking tactics. Tactics are part of a strategy. They are tools to achieve an end. The end varies according to your needs. Just as I can use a submarine in WW2 to sink American troop ships and I am a villain, but I can use it to sink Japanese troop ships and I get a Medal of Honor. Don’t confuse tactics with strategy, or goals.
Alinsky TACTICS are just that: tactics.
