Rules for Radicals

more useful as a historical resource on organizing as methods have changed simply because of changing tech.

If you want to understand modern politics, you have to read this playbook. There is wisdom here, and success as an organizer, if you are willing to follow Alinsky's rules.

Alinsky is the creator of the "politics of change" and is not shy about expressing his desire for a socialist revolution through non-violent means.   hide
