My first introduction to “Rules for Radicals” was when Gary Aldrich (in his great book “Unlimited Access”) began each chapter with two contrasting quotes-one from “Rules for Radicals”, and one from George Washington’s book he wrote at the age of 14, “Rules of Civility & Decent Behaviour in Company and Conversation: a Book of Etiquette”.
The contrast was breathtaking. Simply breathtaking. The Alinsky book is pure morally relativistic evil, and George Washington’s book is, even for today, a superb guide for behavior.
This is where we have come to.
Thank you!!! I'll have to dig Gary's book out...
