 I bow to the farting for social protest review August 30, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
.....I enjoyed the book for different reasons than "farting for social protest" but feel I can't do justice to that review. Oh, I disagree with his take on the worth of the book and its approach, but his review is a wonderful review of the book and the author. I will have to check his comment about Ghandi being a Klismaphiliac. I had no idea the G Man he was an enema freak.
.....Interesting book. I on the otherhand am one of those stupid independent folks that Saul would be trying to squash so of course my take differs from fartings view.
.....I read this as a good way to know the enemy, so to speak, so "farting's" comment on the need to come up with new ways to be a radical were prescient.
.....For my take on the book, if you go down the path of collectivization and group think you will, with near 100% certainty, end up in system run by a police state simply because it is the nature of people. You guys who pick up the book and protest the DNC as well as the RNC need to become part of the system and work it from the inside. To smash it, or try to forcibly convert it overtly into something that is village oriented, has always ended in gut wrenching, nightmarish tragedy, because that is how people operate in a collective system. If you quash independents (read intellectuals who will question your way of doing things) you will end up with the idiots running the animal house and the only way they can get their way is trough beatings, torture, murder, rape and any other forms of cruelty you can think of.
.....It would seem a more radical method of change would be to pour your energy into truly educating our citizens in the hard sciences (math, biology, chemistry) so that they become independent thinkers in the best educated state on the planet and perhaps then you won't need to picket, protest or bomb someone to convert to your way of thinking, but it will be in the majority. Even if they don't end up agreeing with you perhaps they will come up with an even better way of doing what you want in the first place.
.....That said, I really did like the book. Get one for your conservative friends. It will make them uncomfortable but it will also make them rethink a few things and the freedom of independence to learn something new is a good thing.

This book wasn't bad but it wasn't what I thought it would be.
I agree with most of the things he's saying. If you want to be a radical in this world and make a difference, you sometimes have to team up with the "enemy" and he is probably right. You have to "fit in" to make a difference. I just hate the idea of dressing up and ditching my piercings, I suppose.
All in all it's worth the read.

As a conservative, one must know your enemy. Today it is the socialist left. Saul's book is their hand book. Use it to counter their "National Socialist" agenda.
"THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO OF THE 21ST CENTURY!" October 25, 2007

"THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO OF THE 21ST CENTURY!"
This is truly the, "COMMUNIST MANIFESTO OF THE 21ST CENTURY!" As a Libertarian I see this for what it is. It is a guide book for every Stalinist Elitist Liberal which tells them how to deceive the people to gain power. And silence all opposition. And once they have gained the power do what they want to force the failure that is Communism on the public. For the public good.
In this book Alinsky reveals just what Stalinist like Hillary Clinton and rest of the Democrats have been doing for years to con the American people. Lying at ever turn as to who and what they really are. He clearly admits that their ideas will be rejected for the oppressive and regressive failure history has proven them to be. "So they must lie!" And they have been lying for the past 4o + years clearing using this book for the last 36 years as their Bible. Hillary, Bill, the entire Democrat party, the media and the Stalinist that infest our schools. And colleges. They're all doing it.
But Saul Alinsky doesn't stop there. He clearly spells out the principals that they (the Stalinist Liberal) must govern / lord over us for the public good. Sound familiar? Yup.. "Bound to your natural superiors." Karl Marx.
Now he tries to give himself cover by saying he has contempt for any dogma left or right. But if you read it for what it is and read Hillary Clinton's thesis. He fails miserable. It is what is it is. A guide book (the Bible) for the modern day Liberal like Hillary Clinton and today's Democrats on how to con you. And seize power! People who are not just neo Marxist, but are complete Stalinist Elites.
Don't be fooled by the defenders of this book. They're all using the tactics outlined in the book to silence opposition and criticism of Alinsky and the Democrats. It tell you exactly who and what they are and the total disaster it will be for America and the world if they are allowed to seize the power they so lust for.
To Borrow a phrase. "Liberal, Progressive, Humanist... A Stalinist by any other name." It's who they are and this book taken for what it is rips away their masks.
