What Republicans are telling working Americans, the middle class, is

...As Stanley Kurtz writes in his 2010 book Radical in Chief: "Alinsky was ... convinced that large-scale socialist transformation would require an alliance between the struggling middle class and the poor. The key to radical social change, Alinsky thought, was to turn the wrath of America’s middle class against large corporations."



Absolutely correct. Had it happened, we'd have a better society,
dominated by ordinary people instead of large corporations.

If you are offering that quote up as "proof" that Alinsky was a
communist, you failed. He wasn't even a socialist. The righties used to
call George Meany a communist, which was hilarious. Meany was as
anti-communist as you could possibly be.
