Sublime

To seek social justice by deception and destruction seems absurd on the face of it, and yet with his paper thin arguments Alinsky has successfully duped a generation of would-be revolutionaries who seek a better world, but fail to understand the simplest concepts of right and wrong.

As Jake Arvey, the man behind Adlai Stevenson’s political career, defined politics: “politics is the art of putting people under obligation to you.”

Alinsky’s harshest critics claim his goal was radical socialism and redistribution of wealth. Maybe that’s true, maybe not. But the guy is dead, well before I could ask him one simple question, which is how was all that wealth you planned on giving away created in the first place? To redistribute it, someone has to create it.
