No way. His tactics are based in lies, distortions and mass hypnosis. I don't want to win that way. Unless you mean that The Messiah's policies will result in TRUE desperation and hopelessness. Then it wouldn't be lying. If so, then Yes We Can "Change" America back to what it is supposed to be!

From Rules for Radicals, Alinsky outlines his strategy in organizing, writing:

"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevsky said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution."[2]

I don't want to win that way.

The question is not "Which way do you want to win?" The question is "Do you want to win?"
