Rules for Radicals

A Practical Primer for Realistic Radicals

First published in 1971, Rules for Radicals is Saul Alinsky's impassioned counsel to young radicals on how to effect constructive social change and know "the difference between being a realistic radical and being a rhetorical one." Written in the midst of radical political developments whose direction Alinsky was one of the first to question, this volume exhibits his style at its best. Like Thomas Paine before him, Alinsky was able to combine, both in his person and his writing, the intensity of political engagement with an absolute insistence on rational political discourse and adherence to the American democratic tradition.

Why and How Trump Win's!

a very schrewd and practical understanding of how to create and maintain pressure for real change.

A Brilliant Man, A Dangerous Idea, Well Performed

Saul gives really interesting insights into the inner workings of organized social movements and tells tails of masterful choreography of political mudslinging and manipulation. It is important to keep in mind, however that radicalism is friend to no man and when it gets what it is powerful, leaves people in graves. That said, this is a fantastic educational piece and ought to be regarded as a classic of organizational philosophy!

needs warning

good lessons but rough to listen to! needs an intro or something to warn us

Very informative

It appears that BLM, ANTIFA and the Democrats are huge fans of Mr. Saul Alinsky!

unimpressive.

read well, but the content odd lame, scorn when the time frame in which this was written is considered. more propaganda.
