On the opening page of Rules for Radicals, Alinksy quotes himself saying, "Let us not forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where the mythology leaves off and history begins - or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom -- Lucifer."

re: Lucifer

Well at least Alinsky is clear on his own intellectual and moral lineage!! Don’t know if many leftists could be so honest and self-aware as that!

“did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”

That’s the perfect “only a flesh wound” spin! He and his followers were cast out of perfection (heaven), but he “won his own kingdom”! Or maybe Michael Keaton in “Beelzebub”, when his response to having his head shrunken by the witch doctor was “This is a good look for me!”.

How can you argue with this type of logic?
