Pay attention to how much he talks about power, he doesn’t really emphasize whether it is correct or virtuous or principled not. He emphasizes that you need to organize so that you can consolidate power, ( or leverage) so that you can apply pressure. It’s an eloquent way of saying if you wanna shake someone down, you need to be unified and you need to keep constant pressure until they give in.
That's not what he's saying. He's talking about the power of the people. He's talking about democracy. In his book Rules For Radicals, he does talk about the things you mention.

@Personal info Yes, some left-wing parties are followers of Alinski. They finance radical actions to impose Islamic ways of life, to encourage immigration from the Maghreb and Africa. Currently, there are actions to impose the burkini (Islamic swimsuit) in swimming pools. These people have all read Saul Alinski's books. I fought with a migrant who brandished a knife last week. It could have been my daughter, the victim. France is shipwrecked. Last point : one of these party, Alliance Citoyenne, receive money from Georges Soros.
criticizes Hong Kong, but not China or DPRK. Astonishing. Also fails to mention that the Hong Kong Chinese risked life and limb to escape to HK. No democracy, but 100 x more personal freedom than mainland China. And look at it now!
I think that Alinsky did criticize China and North Korea and, unlike some radicals of that time, noted that there was far more freedom in the US than in communist countries. And don't forget that a city state like Singapore would impose harsh penalties for trivial offenses like spitting chewing gum onto the street. And in the 60s and early 70s, South Korea was more repressive than it is today. Still, his judgment about the non communist Asian nations was too glib and he died long before China took back control of Hong Kong, and it is tragic how mainland China is strangling democracy in Hong Kong and never let it develop in any area under its control.
Hong Kong residents could not vote for their own Governor General. That person was appointed by the United Kingdom. All decisions were made by London. Who would define that as a democracy? It is true that HK was not a totalitarian state in the model of the People's Republic, but it was an autocracy. Alinsky did not accuse it of being totalitarian, but a dictatorship.
Revolutionaries are addicted to their ideologies, power, and war. Sometimes a revolt is needed I suppose, The American Revolution for example, but career activists like Alinsky are terrifying. Smart, organized, articulate, intelligent, and relentless. You can clearly see the intersectionality and identity perspectives in his thinking.
@@AmericaCirclingTheDrain Yup. That ideology never ends well. I think some people start with the best of intentions but Alinsky seems cold, calculated, and entirely convinced that the ends justify the means. *shudder
@heartpath1 I recently came across his book Rules For Radicals, and he writes extensively about end and means. He is vehement that you have to weigh the means against, not only the end but the alternative.
@@roscosnyder3584 agreed. But I suspect that display of rigorous political thought, weighing the ends vs. the means vs. alternatives, will always serve his original conclusions. In other words, it’s scientific study that has a predetermined outcome. The study is simply a performance.
few people trully understand his ideas and motivations. he defended the freedom of speech and he denounced the early attempts of PC and cancel culture.
The description of this video is HILARIOUSLY dim: "Saul Alinsky discusses the differences between working in Asia and America as well as how people can get in contact with him."

You're saying they don't have Maxine Waters? Ditto Seattle? Deal San Francisco? Ditto Portland? Ditto Chicago? Ditto New Jersey? They don't hold the mayor's offices?

@Google ReviewsYou are giving people the idea that in 1971 & 1972 people are being shot for their organization of Unions in the U.S. and this guy had been some kind of hero .like an Abraham Lincoln or something...Mr Lincoln never dedicated any of his ideas to Lucifer...as Alinski did his book....You can now GO Back to watching Rosemary's baby now...You have your fathers' eyes.
Wow, I never knew he appeared on Cavett. Alinsky indeed was a mentor to generations of activists and someone the (formerly democratic) right wing in the US abhorred - mostly because like Ralph Nader his analysis was bang on, and he was incredibly effective when he was right. I assume the channel is showing this because of the insanity of the US Supreme Court this week. Change the middle class indeed.
He was a hero to Obama, the Clintons, and Camel 🐫 Toe, she is actually full blown COMMUNIST!

And it worked.They are trying to do away with what they call whiteness. Look it up. Google it.
There is something distinctly off about this guy.
Yes, he’s not like most other people, and that’s a good thing.
Salinsky dedicated his book to lucifer. that's all we need to know about him. Says it all.
Yeah … he has a sense of humour!
Even in France we have problems with people who love this "man"...

You're ready to round up the usual suspects, sheriff?
6:12 Alinsky implies that he isn't paid by the organization. Dick.Cavett should have asked him how he makes his money?
Did Cabbage?... Lettuce correct that.
@@brianarbenz1329 corrected, voice recognition gone bad. Thanks.
The way he immediately looks down and stumbles a bit scratching his head at 4:38 tells me he was hiding something.
As explained further in his interview with William Buckley, he earns just a modest fee.
alinsky and sen byrd are killary's two foremost mentors.

He was a political saboteur and an abhorrent person.
He was a dreadful man. Why didn’t Dick Cavett call him out on his hypocrisy?
Because he couldn’t? Where was the hypocrisy? Dick is no dummy, and had no issue calling people out.
This man can be blamed for a lot of the problems we have now.
But that blame would be misplaced. There are a multitude of other suspects. Some are more guilty than others.

Wow Kodak… since the story of Alice Seeley in the Belgian Congo I guess Kodak has seen many like Saul
What an evil creep Alinsky was
Why?
Organized terrorists
@@thanoszartaloudis5441 Because right-wing idiots have told him to think that. He probably foams at the mouth about the Frankfurt School too.
Do you hate him because he was leftist or that he wasn't left enough?
What's evil about him?
I thought I read about South Korea who had for a very very long time like 1 or 2 television stations, & mostly pretty tightly controlled.
I take it this guy is an early lifer?
The devil incarnate
Was he incredibly dim or incredibly evil ?
He worked for the CIA. Was an agent from the start.
Saul Alinsky was a great American.
He and John Wayne Gacy are about a tie.
