His philosophy, and these are my words, is to overthrow.
Alinsky was for overthrow, and then there was a vacuum. He never offered what happens once you overthrow all the power. He believed every man can make it on his own.
Never heard anyone critique the man for his ideas or his character.

Saul Alinsky was not for overthrow of the government but for a government that believed in the rights of the people to be heard and expressed. He had great character, was a kind man, and was easy to talk with on any subject you brought up. A truly brilliant man with a marvelous sense of humor.
