Via Charlie Sykes, here are some of them, click to the link for all of them:

Never acknowledge conservative victories as legitimate.

Rely on Dane County judges whenever possible.

Elections only matter if liberals win.

Private businesses, families, personal lives are all fair game. Get the Mainstream media to say that “both sides’ are equally guilty.

Break laws, ignore rules, commit fraud, flee the state, change standards at will – but hold conservatives to a standard of absolute compliance. (For example, using the open meetings law to tie up the union bill.)

Encourage conspiracy theories. Use the phrase “Koch Brothers,” as often as possible.

Create chaos whenever possible.

Bully, intimidate, and threaten, unleash union thugs… but repeatedly accuse Scott Walker and the GOP of being bullies.

It doesn’t matter if an accusation against a conservative is true or false; the only question is: can we use it to win (or discredit and demoralize conservatives).

Use every controversy to stoke leftist anger and paranoia and raise money.

Never, ever stop.

That last one is key, and it applies nationally (as do many others). It’s never over until it’s over, and even then it’s not over.

Want to mess with the unions? Call up the union hall and say you are a germane business needing union workers to participate in building project. Have them send x number of members to location of your choice…preferably another Democratic party constituent group union members have nothing in common with like GLBT-Women Studies department/PETA/Anti-gun/anti-hunting organization.

Don’t use a traceable identity.

These all are right out of Alinsky. Here is a clip of his rules list:

Always remember the first rule of power tactics (pps.127-134):

1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”

2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people. When an action or tactic is outside the experience of the people, the result is confusion, fear and retreat…. [and] the collapse of communication.

3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy. Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)

4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”

5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.”

6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”

7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Man can sustain militant interest in any issue for only a limited time….”

8. “Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.”

9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”

10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.”

11. “If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside… every positive has its negative.”

12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”

13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

In conflict tactics there are certain rules that [should be regarded] as universalities. One is that the opposition must be singled out as the target and ‘frozen.’…

This list matches right up with Charlie Sykes’ list, IMHO.

Prof. is that list a creation of Sykes, or does it have an authentic tie to Wishconsin Collectivists?

William A. Jacobson in reply to Ragspierre. | October 13, 2011 at 1:59 pm

I assumed he created it.

So how can we use this to our advantage instead of the usual I-can’t-believe-they-are-so-despicable response? Draw media attention to it? Use it as pamphlet material? Ideas?

“Never, ever stop.”

That needs to be conservatives’ bottom-line motto.

It’s never over because it’s institutionalized in academia. Just think about how many former SDS members, Weather Undergrounders, La Raza, Black Panthers and avowed communists who were disappointed they didn’t get their revolution in the 1960s so they became professors to change how young people think. Just off the top of my head:

Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Ward Churchill, Angela Davis, Michael Albert, Maurice Isserman, and Joel Rodgers are the famous ones I can think of. There are tons more who are not famous so most of us don’t know their names.

Then there’s Paul Krugman, Noam Chomsky, and Joe Stiglitz.

And virtually everybody who teaches some form of sociology, women’s studies, African-American studies, critical thinking, or those grounded on the teachings of Herbert Marcuse and The Frankfurt School.

Our universities are leftist indoctrination camps.

I think you re giving this Alinsky guy way too much cred. I did pol sci with an emphasis on Communism /socialism (it was the rage back then ) .

I never heard of this guy. None of the Socialists I ever met mentioned him -certainly no Soviet or Soviet sponsored 3rd world student I ever met mentioned him.

He sounds just like an ordinary Chicago operative. I think you have all been mesmerized by the biblical/eastern bloc mix in the name. He is no Trotsky. Not even a Menschevik.

I DON’T RECALL…

Everyone knows what the radical far leftists, revolutionaries, reactionaries, and basic low level thug agitators, do and say, in their strategy and tactics..

The question is, are the good decent people going to stay silent, and do nothing to rebuke them, in response.. I say No, as we all know that for all Evil needs to flourish, is for good men and woman to do and say nothing.. which is why, this is not just a fight for and election victory, but is a fight against evil itself..

These Anti-American Liberal far left radical Marxist Revolutionaries, seem to think this is a game, and that they are not the problem.. Hasn’t ever occurred to Patriotic Constitutional Conservative people, aka, Good People, that Evil people, whether radical marxist leftists, or radical arab islamic muslim child and adult rapists, murderers, torturers, enslavers, terrorists, etc., never seem to think they are wrong.. Which is why, they must be defeated, and not appeased and negotiated with.. Just like the Nazi’s and the Stalinist Marxist-Communists of the USSR, and so on..

This is real life people, not some game.. for if nothing is done, due to apathy, or whatever reason, to fight them back, then you will one day wake up, and find that they have taken away your Freedom, Liberty, Rights, and Equality, and replaced with Dictatorship Corruption and Tyranny, at the point of a govt gun.. then crying, or being angry, after the fact, will be too late..
