Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals by Saul D. Alinsky
4.0
The book describes the conceptual framework for a very practical mechanics of radical political resistance and transformation. It offers a view of what politics is that is somehow cynical because it is boiled down to amplifying polarised issues to creare the energy for action.
I am not an expert in political writing but I found the book at the same time a source of great insight, as is a damning review of how little independent intelligence plays a role in self determination.
In light of information society’s exposure to manufacturing of different issues, this work takes on a dark tone in that it as much a guide to the tactics of manipulatrd world views as it is guide to resistance.
I think we can do better...
