Wherever he got them, there’s no question that in the hands of skilled practitioners Alinsky’s methods are very effective as a form of asymmetrical warfare.
And you may or may not agree with me on this — but I say we ARE engaged in a form of WAR with the socialists and marxists. The days of civil politics, where both sides essentially agree on fundamental values but disagree on techniques and practices, are over, at least for a while.
So I’m strongly in favor of using against the ‘rats whatever tools WORK. Including tools “their side” came up with.

I completely agree.
Unfortunately, I’ve seen too many who immediately shy away from ridicule saying ‘we don’t use Alynsky’.
