Curious how many have heard of it, or who have read it? Anyone have a sense how much (or little) it has influenced thinking of the far, far left -- if at all since it was written? (in about 1971.) :peace:

Interesting...you should keep commenting about what you read in this thread so that we can discuss it.

This should be a fun exhibition of tilting at strawman positions for you all to "pleasure" yourselves to.

Good. Please report on whatever you learn.

Back in the 1970s Alinsky tried to recruit a good friend of mine -- to go to Chicago and learn the rules for radicals.

I know where I stand, but not the appeal of Communism (or at least some elements of it.) One can better fight those ideas (that I think are being used to undermine our country) if we at least have read some of the basics...

First, I do not know how pervasive this man’s views are in the thinking of some on the far left.

Secondly, I think folks should not only know what they believe, but why -- and if I only read from those authors that agree with me, then I am not intellectually challenging myself very much.
