I've read Hillary's paper. I guess the most impressive thing to me about it is how unimpressive it is as a work of graduate research. It is a fawning, cynical, and sophomoric work, at best.
Our two home-educated girls wrote a better research paper than Hillary did at Wellesley. At the time they were 12 & 13.

It isn’t just Hitlery and Obambi who slavishly march to an Alinsky drumbeat, but pretty much the whole of the leadership cadre of the Democratic party and its key supporters and financiers are also in lockstep. The only major difference between the modern Democratic party and the communists of the Stalin era is the Dems are abject cowards.

For what it’s worth, my personal theory is that Hitlery’s thesis embraces Alinsky’s goals but rejects his methods as too passive. I think that in actual practice Hitlery vastly prefers the methods of Stalin and Hitler to grass roots collective populism.
Nevertheless, thanks for laying out the beliefs of a man that Hitlery and the rest of the left certainly admire.

Richard, you can add me to your ping list, not that I need any further convincing that this
shrew - this
shrike - this
jackboot harridan - is the death knell for 231 years of liberty and sovereignty.
It's just that morbid fascination we all have, like staring into the eyes of the Great White in the aquarium shark tank, knowing that there may be enough foreign and domestic slackjaws wielding electoral hammers to break the glass and get us all eaten.

To: Richard Poe
A number of times here in Calfornia, I have attended meetings organized by People Acting in Community Together (PACT), an Alinskyesque organization focused on ‘immigration rights.’ Looking at Hillary’s recent meltdowns, it occurs to me that a major weakness of the Alinsky system is its stagecraft. As long as it is able to lash out without consequence, there is no more powerful medium for opinion-making and influence. However, the moment the message loses its protective bubble, that is to say its obsessive situational control, it falls apart. It simply cannot challenge another position on an intellectual or pragmatic level, even when it is on sound ground.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Although I have no "loving wife" to thank
for keeping the children away while I wrote, I do have many friends and
teachers who have contributed to the process of thesis-writing.
And I thank them for their tireless help and encouragement. In
regard to the paper itself, there are three people who deserve
special appreciation: Mr. Alinsky for providing a topic, sharing
his time and offering me a job; Ms. Alona E. Evans for her
thoughtful questioning and careful editing that clarified fuzzy
thinking and tortured prose; and Jan Krigbaum for her spirited
intellectual companionship and typewriter rescue work
