Introduction

Global and societal transformation doesn't just happen. As Saul Alinsky detailed throughout his life and work, there are deliberate, intentional, and strategic actions

that bad actors take which involve deceiving, manipulating, and seizing control. 

Some Quotes From Alinsky

A Marxist begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the exploitation of the proletariat by the capitalists. From this he logically proceeds to the revoluation to end capitalism, then into the third stage of reorganization into a new social order of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and finally the last stage – the political paradise of communism. 

The first step in community organization is community disorganization. The disruption of the present organization is the first step toward community organization. Present arrangements must be disorganized if they are to be displace by new patterns.... All change means disorganization of the old and organization of the new.

Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network and target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
