Reading the college thesis of our former First Lady Hillary Clinton
titled “There is Only the Fight… An Analysis of the Alinsky Model”, it
becomes painfully clear why this document has been off limits for the
public at large until recently. It shows in very tangible unambiguous
detail the motivations and methodology of the modern incarnation of
Marxism. In an equally disturbing fashion the author not only shows no
aversion to its aims but defends at every chance, the pioneer of this
modern system, Saul Alinsky.
Hillary Clinton during her Wellesley College days in the mid to late 60s when she wrote her thesis on Alinksy.
Let us begin by noting that in the acknowledgements section she
gives thanks to Mr. Alinsky for providing a topic sharing some time and
offering a job to then Ms. Rodham. She asks the question what a radical
is and provides the answer in Mr. Alinsky’s own words.
“They are a people creating a new bridge of mankind in between the past of narrow nationalistic chauvinism and the horizon of a new man kind—a people of the world.”
This is precisely the aim of the power structure behind Communism,
the erasing of all borders and boundaries and the establishment of a
world government based on a modified form of Communism called
Humanistic Socialism. The author continues and defines what it means to
be an American radical. Again she lets Mr. Alinsky define the term.
“…that unique person who actually believes what he says… to whom the common good is the greatest personal value… who genuinely and completely believes in mankind.… Alinsky outlines American history focusing on men he would call “radical,” confronting his readers again with the “unique” way Americans have synthesized the alien roots of radicalism, Marxism, Utopian socialism, syndicalism, the French Revolution, with their own conditions and experiences:”
So the reader concludes that an American radical is someone who
believes in collectivism and synthesizes the roots of Communism with
the origins of Liberty. What an exercise in semantical and mental
gymnastics. To equate liberty and authoritarianism as synonymous terms
is a perversion in and of itself. Ms. Rodham continues defining radical
in her own terms.
“A radical is one who advocates sweeping changes in the existing laws and methods of government. These proposed changes are aimed at the roots of political problems which in Marxian terms are the attitudes and the behaviors of men. Radicals are not interested in ameliorating the symptoms of decay but in drastically altering the causes of societal conditions. Radicalism “emphasizes reason rather than reverence, although Radicals have often been the most emotional and least reasonable of men.” One of the strongest strains in modern radicalism is the eighteenth Century Enlightenment’s faith in human reason and the possible perfectibility of men. This faith in the continuing improvement of man was and is dominated by values derived from the French and American Revolutions and profoundly influenced by the Industrial Revolution.”
She herself defines radicalism under Marxian terms and correctly
points out that the origins of radicalism do indeed begin in the
Enlightenment. Her term the “perfectibility of men” is rather striking
considering that the object of Communism is to create the perfect man.
Also the original name of the Illuminati Order, the prototype of
Communism, was the Order of the Perfectibilists and that Adam
Weishaupt’s successor J. J. C. Bode went to The Grand Orient Lodge and
initiated the architects of the French Revolution into the order some
two years before the French Revolution began. This account is confirmed
in Bode’s personal diary and also in the book “Fire in the Minds of
Men”.
The author points out that radicalism often must be achieved through
non-radical means, chiefly operating inside the existing system. We
learn that the object of radicalism is power and it is obtained through
organization. The means to obtaining power is through conflict. It is
pointed out that …
“Alinsky argues that those who wish to change circumstances must develop a mass-based organization and be prepared for conflict. He is a Neo-Hobbesian who objects to the consensual mystique surrounding political processes; for him conflict is the route to power.”
In short it is learned that through collective action in the form of
conflict can power be achieved. She expands on this concept in relation
to morality.
“Alinsky claims a position of moral relativism, but his moral context is stabilized a belief in the eventual manifestation of the goodness of man. He believes that if men were allowed to live free from fear and want they would live in peace. He also believes that only men with a sense of their own worth an a respect for the commonality of humanity will be able to create this new world.”
This is a repetition of the central theme in Machiavelli’s “The
Prince”, the end justifies the means. Morality then is subjective so
long as the object of creating a new world based on the commonality of
humanity also known as Communism. Not surprisingly the idea that the
ends justify the means is central in his 1971 work titled “Rules for
Radicals”. Interestingly this work was dedicated to what he referred to
as the original radical, Lucifer.
Ms. Rodham focuses on community organizing efforts in relation to the Alinsky Method noting that it has two distinct elements.
“One, the “Alinsky-type protest” is “an explosive mixture of rigid discipline, brilliant showmanship, and a street fighters instinct for ruthlessly exploiting his enemies weakness.” The second, modeled after trade union organization methods, involves the hard work of recorganizing interests, seeking out indigenous leaders, and building an organization whose power is viewed as legitimate by the larger comunity.”
So the elements then are staged theatrical protests, prying on your
enemies weaknesses, and identifying indigenous leaders so as to appear
legitimate to the community that you are trying to organize. This idea
is repeated in the following excerpt that defines the criteria of an
Alinsky organization.
(a) It is rooted in the local tradition, the local
indigenous leader ship, the local organizations and agencies, and, in
short, the local people.
(b) Its energy or driving force is generated by the
self-interest of the local residents for the welfare of their children
and themselves.
(c) Its program for action develops hand in hand with the organ
Ization of the community council. The program is in actual fact that
series of common agreements which results in the develop ment of the
local organization.
(d) It is a program arising out of the local people carrying
with it the direct participation of practically all the organizations
in a particular area. It involves a substantial degree of indi vidual
citizen participation; a constant day to day flow of vol unteer
activities and the daily functioning of numerous local com mites
charged with specific short term functions.
(e) It constantly emphasizes the functional relationship
between prob lems and therefore its program is as broad as the social
horizon of the community. It avoids, at all costs, circumscribed and
seg mental programs which in turn attract the support of only a seg
ment of the local population.
(f) It recognizes that a democratic society is one which
responds to popular pressures, and therefore realistically operates on
the basis of pressure. For the same reason it does not shy away from
involvement in matters of controversy.
(g) It concentrates on the utilization of indigenous
individuals, who, if not leaders at the beginning, can be developed
into leaders.
(h) It gives priority to the significance of self-interest. The
organ Ization itself proceeds on the idea of channeling the many
diverse forces of self-interest within the community into a common dir
ection for the common good and at the same time respects the autonomy
of individuals and organizations.
(i) It becomes completely self-financed at the end of
approximately Three years. This not only testifies to its
representative character In that the local residents support their own
organization finan cially, but insures to the local council the acid
test of ide pendence: “the ability to pay one’s way”
The over arching theme is the rule and representation of the
collective by its indigenous leaders, whether real or developed. The
power lies in mob rule. This is precisely what a democracy is. Our
founders understood that a democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding
what is for dinner. That is why we are founded as a Republic and not as
a democracy as Ms. Rodham falsely believes. The term democracy in fact
appears nowhere in our founding documents.
The point of the preceding analysis is to reveal the motivation and
methodology of the modern collectivist. Through understanding their
means and motives, we can safeguard our liberty from the mob waiting to
tear this great nation to pieces. Communism has taken many forms
throughout the last few hundred years and it ideology is rooted in
antiquity. It is not a monolithic form and is always changing to the
needs of the groups it represents. It has been called Illuminism,
radicalism, democracy, socialism, syndicalism, and lately communism. It
is not for the benefit of the people but is the tool of totalitarian
oligarchical control. If you need any verification of this, then
consider why all ten pillars of the Communist Party destroy the
freedoms and rights of the individual in the name of the collective but
transfer it to the banks and the state. Who in their right mind would
advocate for such a thing?
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means
of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by
the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the
improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries;
gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a
more equitable distribution of the population over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition
of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of
education with industrial production.
