I thought that Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals: Tactics” was a very interesting read especially because her rules were ones that aren’t considered a fair fight. Rules like “Aim directly for the person by insulting them,” and “Wherever possible, go outside of the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear and retreat” are things they teach you not to do. Alinsky seems to have perfected the art of winning and in my opinion as long as you win,it doesn’t matter how you get there.
To switch over to his article on words, I feel like we think about words to much which is why over time certain words such as “power” become scary and effective tools in an argument. The two articles work well together because one tells you which words to use and what meanings they can have while the other tells you what situtations to use them in.
