Communists ridicule religion. Saul was a fervant Universal Unitarian and the church practices were a big part of the community organizing movement.

He actually detested ALL forms of government. It was all for the people....my name is anarchy because he never said much about anything after his practice over threw what was in place, but remember, all of his writings were based on LOCAL situations. He never wrote on national views.
Frankly and this is why this gets lots of press....if you read his works, a national program based on Alinsky is scary.
But, he was not a bad man as some make him out to be, but he also is not the person to idolize as others do. He was a great organizer.
