"The agitator's job," according to Alinsky, "is first to bring folks to the “realization” that they are indeed miserable, that their misery is the fault of unresponsive governments or greedy corporations, then help them to bond together to demand what they deserve, and to make such an almighty stink that the dastardly governments and corporations will see imminent “self-interest” in granting whatever it is that will cause the harassment to cease."
Alinski’s political thinking is reflected in this quote:
"Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To bring on this reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system, among not only the middle class but the 40 per cent of American families - more than seventy million people - whose income range from $5,000 to $10,000 a year [in 1971]. They cannot be dismissed by labeling them blue collar or hard hat. They will not continue to be relatively passive and slightly challenging. If we fail to communicate with them, if we don't encourage them to form alliances with us, they will move to the right. Maybe they will anyway, but let's not let it happen by default..”
Let's face facts. Wright is a Communist along with Obama pure and simple. It is time we addressed these political agents for what they are.
It certainly looks like they are following this “democrats bible”, doesn’t it!
“Let’s face facts. Wright is a Communist along with Obama pure and simple. It is time we addressed these political agents for what they are.”
So basically, you are saying:
If it walks like a Communist, talks like a Communist... It’s most likely — a Communist!
Fine exegeses.
