He doesn't mention any of those things.

Community organizing is basically fomenting small revolutions against "entrenched" powers in a "community," in order to gain some specific end/project.

But the worst thing that can happen to a revolutionary is success. If they get the housing, for example, they move on to create another revolution, and 20 years later the housing is uninhabitable.

Obama talks like a revolutionary, and if my simple description is even remotely accurate, imagine what the results will be, should he be elected (gain the end).

If I read him correctly, his goal really goes no further than to win the revolution.

If your narrative of a community organizer becomes public, Soros will be after you.

Great post.

BTW I had never heard of "Narrative" until Rove explained it on C-span.

Correct, Alinsky devotes a whole chapter of Rules for Radicals to "The Education of an Organizer".

He is basically a rabble rouser, manipulating the proletariat to advance his political goals.
