{"product_id":"rules-for-radicals","title":"Rules for Radicals","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"field\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-value\"\u003eAlinsky dedicated this to Lucifer — the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and won his own kingdom. That tells you everything about his tone. The book itself is a practical manual for building power among people who have none: thirteen rules drawn from decades of community organizing in Chicago's meatpacking districts and South Side neighborhoods, documented with the rigor of someone who had watched what worked and what didn't across a lifetime of practice. Make the enemy live up to their own rules. Ridicule is your most potent weapon. A good tactic is one your people enjoy. Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have. These are not cynical instructions — they are honest about how change actually happens versus how civics class says it does. The FBI surveilled Alinsky for years. His opponents used his name as a slur, which is one of the more reliable indicators that someone named something true. The most practical book on the Make Something Better shelf — the one that answers the question every reader of Goldman and Kropotkin eventually asks: but what do we actually do on Monday morning? The tactics are tools, not values — P\u0026amp;P situates them in the tradition of justice organizing, not power consolidation.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Punk and Pedagogy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45824016449734,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/9066\/8742\/files\/rules-for-radicals.png?v=1778105844","url":"https:\/\/punkandpedagogy.com\/products\/rules-for-radicals","provider":"Punk and Pedagogy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
