A Tactic That Drags On Too Long

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.

Let The Liberal Turn To The Course Of Action, The Course Of All Radicals, And The Amused Look Vanishes From The Face Of Society As It Snarls, “that’s Radical!” Society Has Good Reason To Fear The Radical. Every Shaking Advance Of Mankind Toward Equality And Justice Has Come From The Radical. He Hits, He Hurts, He Is Dangerous. Conservative Interests Know That While Liberals Are Most Adept At Breaking Their Own Necks With Their Tongues, Radicals Are Most Adept At Breaking The Necks Of Conservatives.

Theres Another Reason For Working Inside The System. Dostoevsky Said That Taking A New Step Is What People Fear Most. Any Revolutionary Change Must Be Preceded By A Passive, Affirmative, Non-challenging Attitude Toward Change Among The Mass Of Our People. They Must Feel So Frustrated, So Defeated, So Lost, So Futureless In The Prevailing System That They Are Willing To Let Go Of The Past And Change The Future. This Acceptance Is The Reformation Essential To Any Revolution.

Liberals Like People With Their Heads, Radicals Like People With Both Their Heads And Their Hearts.

It Should Be Borne In Mind That The Target Is Always Trying To Shift Responsibility To Get Out Of Being The Target. There Is A Constant Squirming And Moving And Strategy . . . On The Part Of The Designated Target. The Forces For Change Must Keep This In Mind And Pin That Target Down Securely. If An Organization Permits Responsibility To Be Diffused And Distributed In A Number Of Areas, Attack Becomes Impossible.
