Rules for Radicals

I'm starting to read "Rules for Radicals" by that 1960's radical SOB, Saul Alinsky.  Even on the first page, he shows his love for Marxism and also minimizes the true Holocaust when he inaccurately describes the actions of Senator Joseph McCarthy to rid the US of anti-American Communists as a "holocaust".  This should be a good read.

Then "Rules for Conservative Radicals" by Michael Patrick Leahy. From the description, Leahy takes Alinksy's secular tactics and combines it with moral principles. But first, I need to get through "Rules for Radicals" before moving onto the good stuff.

Havens Center

The Havens Center is a self-described progressive organization which seeks "social and political change." Its biennial Real Utopias Project "examines various basic institutions ... and focuses on specific proposals for their fundamental redesign." Ah, there's nothing like a fundamental transformation, is there? A link to one of the Real Utopia Projects which brought me to this website, Using Pensions for Social Control of Capitalist Investment, is interesting to say the least. And the others are just as eerie.
Cloward and Piven, anyone? Or more of a "nudge"?

Black Panthers' Racism

I always knew they were racists, but now I know they're Anti-Semitic. I was just waiting for him to make a Zionist or Jewish slur at the beginning (subtly hidden in the Gaza/media reference), but he did pull through later on in the video when talking about Zionists controlling Obama. Then he goes into all the usual revolutionary/Black Power nonsense. Called the Tea Party racists and links Black Panthers with the Palestian "brothers and sisters." Then decried SB 1070 racism; I wonder if he even read it.
