Horowitz seems to contradict himself, because on page 5, he indicates that Alinsky never questioned Marxist utopianism or their view of human nature. Then, a few paragraphs on, he contradicts himself again, saying that Alinsky wants to take from the haves and give to the have-nots.
From what I understand of Alinsky, the latter is true, and the goal is pursued in an unprincipled, Machiavellian way.
No question , though, that Obama is creating chaos, just to “see what happens.”
