The Saul Alinsky American Left
Today’s American leftists, who want to replace our system with one based on redistribution, reject one of this country’s primary founding virtues, its demand economy.

Saul Alinsky, the great admirer of Vladimir Lenin, had a significant impact on at least two of our most prominent Democrats, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Then Hillary Rodham wrote her senior thesis at Wellesley College in praise of him. Obama’s first job out of Harvard was that of a “community organizer†in Chicago where he worked for an Alinsky inspired organization and taught the tactics outlined in the Chicago radical’s book, Rules for Radicals.
Today’s American leftists, who want to replace our system with one based on redistribution, reject one of this country’s primary founding virtues, its demand economy. It afforded Americans nearly complete freedom to build enterprises aimed at meeting the needs of fellow Americans. Approximately 100 years after America’s founding, a German, Karl Marx, conceived of what he thought would be a more virtuous system where government controlled the means of production so that wealth could be more fairly distributed.
