Chris's review of Rules for Radicals
Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky
I'm reading this right now as a part of discourse analysis study to compare it to Lakeoff's Thinking Points, which is another rule book for progressives. The beginning of the book grabbed me when he says "The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away." He's very obviously affected by having been through the Red Scare and the McCarthy days. Funny how much some of it reminds me of the situation we're going through today.
