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.

You are right. Saul did not like organized government. Anarchist is just a person who does not believe in organized government and it can work only at a local level. He knew that.
Idolize him is too strong a word. Amazing friend is more like it. I was only 24 when he passed away but he taught me many things about life.
