Synopsis
Saul Alinsky's manual for community organizing has now become a seminal text for activists and politicians hoping to enact change at the local level. Alinsky came of age in during the Depression in Chicago, where he studied criminology. Attacking what he felt were the roots of crime, Alinsky began organizing the immigrants and blue-collar workers of the Windy City in order to get them educated and empowered. His activist methods worked so well that they were adopted by other regional leaders across the country and a formula for communal organization began to emerge. One year before his death in 1972, Alinsky published RULES FOR RADICALS, which compiles the wisdom he accrued over a lifetime of fighting to change the system from the ground up. The Alinsky method focuses on organizing impoverished and disenfranchised citizens into a majority, such that they can incrementally begin to take part in the political system, with the hopes of one day taking it over entirely. Alinsky's supporters include Barack Obama, who began his political career as a community organizer in Chicago, practicing and teaching the Alinsky method.

      A Frightening Blueprint for Losing Freedom in America!!
    Review created: 03/05/09
    by:
    5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

    This book presents a plan for destroying the institution of Constitutional Freedom handed down to Americans from the Founders of our nation. Alinsky's Rules would have us abandon the Bill of Rights to replace it with a Marxist/Fascist system, where the rules would be set by an elite set of "enlightened organizers, who would in Alinsky's words, "get to play god" (sic).
    In Alinsky's view, the enemy is those who have been successful, but his target is the Middle Class, whom he derides as the "have some, want more" and strive to improve their situation. They are to be "radicalized" to the point where they identify themselves as impoverished and hopeless to improve their situation. The poor don't matter because they have no power and Alinsky is all about grabbing power to impose a totalitarian system, which he says will replace the principle of equal opportunity for all with the guarantee of equal economic outcome.

    Read this book for a frightening view of the future as envisioned by President Obama, who was trained as a "Community Organizer" by Alinsky's organization in Chicago. Alinsky's rules state that our economy must be destroyed in order to implement his plan. This book may have appeal if you are angry, alienated, and immature but if you care about individual freedom, rights and opportunity it offers a truly horrifying picture of America's future unless the present course is reversed.
