Thanks for mentioning Satan. You say Alinsky was the founder of community organizing, which is a blatant lie and not worthy of a FR post. Alinsky says Satan was the first community organizer. Certainly there were community organizers at the Tower of Babel, and throughout Biblical History, Greco-Roman history and probably every human history.

What Alinsky did was act as aggregator to pull together the tactics into a couple books and thousands of classes and mentorships.

Like a hammer or any tool, the tactics are ideologically neutral for the most part. Both the Pope, Rush, Hilary and Trump ridicule the opposing voices. Both left and right lie. eg say someone is the founder when he isn’t.

Currently the anti-illegal immigration rhetoric is mostly based on precisely the same Malthusian-Guttmacher premises that are the basis for extreme environmentalism.

It should also be noted that Alinsky ideas have dominated major portions of the Catholic Church since the early 60s with special mention to the historically largest archdiocese that provides more money to the Vatican than any other, namely the archdiocese of Chicago whose religious are mostly extremist Alinsky.

And, of course, Maryland, the historically Catholic state gave us Alinskyite Msgr Geno Baroni who created the Mortgage crisis based on Alinsky tactics.
