>>While Alinsky and Hillary may agree on the ends, they disagree on the means to power. Alinsky promoted grass roots bottom-up methods, and Hitlery believes in imposing her goals top-down.
Alinsky was clear that any means that reached any end he deemed as the best outcome was acceptable.
He repeated often that he was against an establishment which had all the money and power, while he, on the other hand, had bodies. He worked bottom up because those were the resources he had to invoke his socialist/communist revolultion.
If he had been in the Hillary/Stalin seat, he would not have hesitated to use money and power in a top down mode to reach his ends.
I would agree with you there. Alinsky was a thief of ideas as well, much of what he takes "credit" for (methods not goals) he stole from a Dadaist group in NYC that went by a name that I can print only in part (Motherf------s). That group hated Alinsky and his ilk.
