Forget about the enjoyment of picnics with your children, or happy days fishing - for Alinsky you are just an empty drone, waiting to be programmed with his 'meaning' on another campaign. Suffice it to say however, that if you are middle class, Alinsky repeatedly says that you lead a boring, meaningless existence, alienated from your children, and your only hope is to become politically active with him on his campaigns as an 'organiser'. As regards the book, it would take another book to pick it apart its vile views and decadent advice, but hopefully the future listener, whether of the left or the right, will be able to note its defects themselves. I shall look out for further readings by him. He does this, I think, by carefully varying the cadence and pauses, according to tiny variations in the material. The material of this book is tedious at best, and obnoxious at worst yet Scott manages to infuse the whole reading with interest, and maintain the attention of the reader. Listening to this book is a necessary evilįirst of all, I must say that Scott Lange is a brilliant, gifted narrator.
