Rules for Radicals

[Firstteam]

From Leftist Hero Saul Alinski

Rule #8

* RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. Promise the mass of people something for nothing and they will buy into it even if it is not true—even if you have to lie and fabricate.

Sound familiar?

Anita Dunn although not an card carrying member of the American Communist party (well not that I know of) was enamored of Mao. I believe VJ leans Mao rather than Marx.

First coffee so bear with me.

And Rule #8 has been in play since Obama and his minions aka future administration appeared on the Federal scene.

Carol Browner was a serious left winger. Hell's bells there are so many who lean that far left.



Maybe we should start a short list of exceptions.

Rule #1

From the Communist Manifesto:

"The proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degree, all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralize all instruments of production in the hands of the state…"

Rule #12

RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.). This also keeps the opposition from focusing on your inconsistencies and deceptions.
