Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A real eye-opener
This book is a must read for all to understand radicalism and how their goals are achieved. This book was essentially the blueprint for the Obama campaign. Saul Alinsky and his views are admired by both Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Rating:  - Are you kidding me?
This is a man who dedicated his book to satan?
a man who was so off base with society.
this book allows for the decline in western civilization, he is or i should say was, the fecies of our species.
If you have a brain in your head you will leave this one alone!
Rating:  - History of a significant approach to political matters
The book is clearly written and summarized by the title. Alinsky, the doyen of Chicago style community organizers, argues that whether the ends justify the means is to be decided by the immediate circumstances. He provides several examples where he answers "Yes" to the question of whether the ends justify the means, showing how means some might consider "bad" served "good" ends. An interesting read whether or not you believe the tactics of recent and current Chicago style community organizers are consistent with Alinsky's guidance.
Rating: - Alinsky's rules for destroying capitalism have succeeded beyond his wildest dreams.
So successful have radical front groups such as ACORN been, that it may not be long before the very same tactics can be used against the radicals themselves. Saul's tactics of intimidation, civil disobedience, threats, veiled threats, strikes, boycotts, lying, bluffing, more lying, fixing elections, infiltrating all layers of government, media manipulation, fear, smears, ridicule, hit & run tactics, humor and "dirty pool tricks" of all kinds were always intended for the "have nots" to use against the "haves." Now that the radicals have actually gained so much power, they are no longer the "outside have-nots" and the very same strategies they used to gain power can be turned on them. While the radicals will have succeeded in forcing most multi-national corporations to move their businesses and jobs off shore, their socialist policies will no longer be able to raise enough taxes to produce the Socialist, Communistic Utopia that was promised.
It will be interesting to observe taxpayer revolts where suddenly almost everyone is showing no taxable income. It will be fascinating to see millions of formerly middle class citizens suddenly and all at once decide not to pay their real estate taxes. It will be enlightening to see government offices swamped with citizens applying for every possible entitlement all at the same time and over and over again. The unemployed will simply refuse to work full-time. Tax payer lawsuits will overwhelm the court system and the IRS. While the majority of citizens ... Read More
Rating: - A Guide on How to Destroy America
Saul Alinsky's classic "Rules for Radicals" is a step-by-step guide on how to overthrow American capitalist democracy and replace it with a communist dictatorship. It outlines steps and actions that must be taken in order to lie, organize, agitate, trick and deceive your way into power. It's a path that radical leftist Barack Obama has followed to the letter.
This book needs to be read by all Americans. When anti-American leftists like Alinsky, Obama, Ayres or Wright use tactics described in this book, patriotic Americans need to recognize and defeat them. In the spirit of "know your enemy", I give this book "5 stars". Rules for Radicals needs to be read by every informed voter.
