what this trouble maker Alinsky doesn’t get because of his lack of formal education, is that there is apparent authority (fro the office you managed to get into) and actual authority from the consent of the governed.
As the ruler of Romania found out, he had apparent authority, but very little actual authority. That is what the “rebels” in al quaida are finding out too.
They forgot to mention Saul Alinsky and all his money
Good article, and clarifying. They have been astroturfingnforndecadrs, if not more. My father has a book published by HUAC in the 1950s called “100 Things You Should Know About Communism”, and that book described a communist technique to take over a meeting: They would send 4 people, and the four would sit near the four corners of the room, and when one would say something the others would echo it. That way it seemed as though support for the Communists’ position was spread throughout the group. Power is what your opponent thinks you have.
I have changed my tagline.
