Saul Alinksy,is much maligned by the 'non left', even in the face of him being a politically strategic genius.
This has puzzled me.
Why would those espousing freedom of speech, free markets, and meritocracy, be so 'down' on an individual who was, by definition excelling in his field ? (talent, merit, call it what you will).
While smeared as being a leftist commie- anyone who's has actually read his works or seen him on interview, can soon see through his charade.
He didn't give a fuck about any ideology.
Pragmatism was his bread and butter, his thought processes - HIS IDEOLOGY, almost.
Moral and ethics are all very good, but if you can't, OR ARE NOT PREPARED TO (have the will to) 'get down and dirty', then all you are is a virtue signalling moralist, sitting atop a very safe, moral hill.
To paraphrase Alinsky from an interview that I watched him on:
'What kind of man are you if you're not prepared to compromise yourself for what you want ?'
This is a big problem in what could loosely be called 'the Libertarian movement'.
Many Libertarians are hippy moralists singing 'kum by yah, I'm philosophically correct' - chanting as the authoritarians bull doze down your house and put you in handcuffs (along with all the sheep who just weren't 'as clever and insightful' as yourself)...
As Nietzsche said:
Referring back to the Alinsky paraphrase, and adding it to the perspective of (how I see it), the weak libertarian movement, it seems to me that 'they' want all that comes with freedom, but are not prepared to risk 'anything' to get t.
By 'anything', I'm referring to Nietzsche's quote.
The casualties of this war, is corruption.
The ethically sound and well meaning libertarian, by going into battle (by deception we wage war) can also be corrupted to 'the dark side'- by the very thing he is fighting against.
Staring into the abyss is not a risk free endevour - and there will be casualties. (a corruption of one's own morals and ethics).
If you've ever been there, and returned the same ethically sound person - cool. (there's always scars, always scars).
You already know yourself better than most.
Most people have never been there (but pretend they have).
THIS IS WHAT SCARES the well meaning libertarian, sitting atop their high moral high ground.
THE FEAR of getting down and dirty - compromising in the short run, fighting monsters -and being corrupted from it in the process.
Much easier to criticize Alinsky from a safe moral and intellectual high ground - criticize a man who really did get down and dirty, and fought in the trenches, to enable his own 'will to power'.
The 'alt right'/libertarian crew can learn a lot from Alinsky - or not.
But one thing is for sure - The authoritarian bulldozers are very happy if you don't.
'We' ain't winning this war by sitting on safe moral high grounds.
'We' are winning this war by looking into the abyss, and risking yourself - risking your own values and principles.
NOTHING is free, no matter how much those sitting atop moral high grounds and risking nothing in the 'the now' would wish it to be so.
All war is a matter of logistics.
No logistical supplies, no fighting.
Cutting off 'the enemies' logistical supply, is a matter of war by deception, of getting down and dirty.
Of looking into the abyss.
There will be casualties.
Demoralization = Cutting logistics.
R.A.P.E. = Cutting logistics.
Re Allocating A Persons Earnings....a transfer of wealth. From 'the sheep scorpions', to 'the frogs' ( 'sheep frog' or 'authentic frog', doesn't matter)
The... 'how'... doesn't... matter.
You can, temporarily - leave your libertarian principles at the door and hope you can pick them up after fighting with the monsters in the abyss.
(no guarantee's, soldier - how much courage and conviction, do you really have?)
What MATTERS - ALL THAT MATTERS - is that the sheep scorpions - through your Machiavellian efforts - have less resources, and less logistical supplies to give, than before your assault.
SEE...THE...BIGGER...PICTURE...(and fuck your ethical fweelings)
...Or enjoy the feeling of your handcuffs after your house is flattened by the 'dozers ..there ARE NO COMPROMISES WITH SCORPIONS (or their sheep).
CAPICHE?
....get weaving, get taking, get a winners mindset.
(and fuck your feelings to - just like 'we' keep saying to the libtarded snowflake sheep scorpions)
LEARN ALINSKY, and apply - suck their resources, their peace of mind, their hatred (FEAR) of love - and use it against them.
Enjoying yourself along the way by LAUGHING - is a good way to avoid falling into the abyss and being corrupted by the putrid monster that you WILL HAVE to fight.
And when the snowflakes/sheep scorpions/libtards, see you as being Saruman leading the Orc army- you know you're successfully over the target !
Coming up -
My own strategies and philosophy behind my upcoming actions - hopefully to help others in getting 'the right' mindset ( if not application).
The best war, is the one you never have to fight....
How?....because you've sucked the enemy dry of any resources for them to even be able, to wage war...
Become the monster , to defeat the monster ,. sounds logic .
...It's all about unleashing the monster at the right times - and not (ever), letting it 'take over the show'...
For me to now be able do this well, took a bloody long time to work out in my own noggin'...un reconciled moral hierarchies, conflicting with ethical hierarchies
(ultra, erh, and many others, helped me greatly, in me finally getting there).
p.s.
You didn't help in this process - at all!!...(that's a compliment, btw lol)
The monster in all of us is emotion driven , not rational and blurring logic and common sense .
Control your monster , do not let it control you .
Do not deny your monsters existence , as it will start controlling you covertly .
Care for your monster , make it your friend , for the info it gives you is not unimportant .
The monster is part of our survival instinct , releasing some rage and violence to survive a attack on your life works even better when you control your beast .
It is our lower life form , and with our higher life form we must take care and lead .
Not a easy task , as the many so miserably fail for fact .
Thanks for the compliment .
It is always good to see others come to certain views without my help .
