Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals is a 1971 book by community activist and writer Saul D. Alinsky about how to successfully run a movement for change. It was the last book written by Alinsky, and it was published shortly before his death in 1972. His goal was to create a guide for future community organizers, to use in uniting low-income communities, or "Have-Nots", in order for them to gain by any means necessary social, political, legal, and economic power.
The Rules
"Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
"Never go outside the expertise of your people."
"Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy."
"Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."
"Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."
"A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
"A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."
"Keep the pressure on."
"The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself. "
"The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."
"If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative."
"The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."
"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. "

"She cites the activist and formerly incarcerated Weather Underground member Eric Mann, as her mentor during her early activist years at the Bus Riders Union of Los Angeles."
Early life
Eric Mann was born December 4, 1942 in Brooklyn, New York, into a Jewish home rooted in “anti-fascist, working class, pro-union, pro-‘Negro’, internationalist, and socialist traditions.”[citation needed] Both sides of his family were Jews who fled the Russian Empire during the anti-Semitic pogroms of the early 1900s.[citation needed]
According to Mann, writing in CounterPunch, his grandmother, Sarah Mandell, was a garment worker and member of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, and a role model for him. His father, Howard Mann, was a field organizer for the Textile Workers Union of America who went south to organize black and white sharecroppers. His mother, Libby, was a department store worker, an early feminist, who shaped his ethical worldview. Mann says that the decisive experience of his early life was antisemitism, and that he observed virulent racism in the United States which led him to develop a lifelong commitment to the Black liberation movement.

Remembrance of Larry Schacht
"...a young doctor from Houston had formulated the poisonous mixture. The name “Dr. Laurence Schacht” leaped out at me, but at first I thought it must be someone else."
"My sense about Larry was that he had been acutely aware from earliest childhood not only of his surroundings, but the workings of the larger world. This awareness had probably at least in part been instilled by his Jewish heritage and the political involvement of his parents."
