“Now that’s the best description of “community organizer” I’ve seen yet: professional radical.”
Or, as even he himself called it: “community agitator”. He targets various groups that in his mind are being treated “unfairly” by the “system” and sows anger and unhappiness amongst them to cause them to rebel against the establishment. But he offers nothing constructive to replace the establishment - he just wants to destroy it with mobs and then move on to the next “community”. I haven’t been able to discern any consistent political or economic school of thought behind his activism other than to raise hell.
Anarchism is the closest I can come to, or some form of deconstructionism.
Should be interesting to see how things develop if Obama gets in and becomes the “establishment”. My gut tells me that at that point he will put a stop on deconstructionism agaist the establishment (him) - he’ll do that by the use of force. Or put another way, he will continue to deconstruct his opposition (us) - and this time he will have considerable more weapons at his disposal - the whole apparatus of the federal government.
We could be in for some dark times...
