The bit about "Marxist historian E. J. Hobsbaum" is interesting. It is all interesting but that struck me. What I see that makes Alinski a bit different is his praise for Lucifer for rebelling and creating his own "Kingdom". And his willingness to lean towards radicalism against things moral and material. The first quote in the first chapter is "The life of man upon earth is a warfare." The second paragraph begins, "In this book we are concerned with how to create mass organisations to seize power and give it to the people." Now think about the Acorn members (estimated at over 2 million now) who prescribe Alinski's thinking. And think about O's relationship with Acorn and Ayers. Alinski seems to call for alignment with the devil and approves of radical revolution against any and all social structure. That makes his followers particularly dangerous. Has O not placed our structures under attack to seize power and ostensibly to give them to the people?
