Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals by Saul D. Alinsky
4.0
"The revolution of our times", this phrase will be remembered for a very very long time.
A very intriguing book along with very intriguing tactics for raising hell. You can fully appreciate that the establishment will be furiously trying to undermine Alinsky's efforts and to condemn his doctrines.
It is radical thought but Alinsky makes the point of galvanising the masses into a call for action. The practical aspect is not many can organise yet alone lead such masses into action. Dynamism of the individual and the harnessing of similar frustrations along with timing are crucially important in a successful call to revolt.
Alinsky is not in my opinion a radical, but he does make the point to vent at the establishment, there are ways and means to achieve your goals. They don't have to be violent, however, the establishment will nearly always portray them as such.
