The Organizers First Job Is To Create The Issues Or Problems, And Organizations Must Be Based On Many Issues. The Organizer Must First Rub Raw The Resentments Of The People Of The Community; Fan The Latent Hostilities Of Many Of The People To The Point Of Overt Expression. He Must Search Out Controversy And Issues, Rather Than Avoid Them, For Unless There Is Controversy People Are Not Concerned Enough To Act. . . . An Organizer Must Stir Up Dissatisfaction And Discontent.

The Only People Who Become Disillusioned Are People Who Have Illusions.

Pick The Target, Freeze It, Personalize It, And Polarize It. Cut Off The Support Network And Isolate The Target From Sympathy. Go After People And Not Institutions; People Hurt Faster Than Institutions. (this Is Cruel, But Very Effective. Direct, Personalized Criticism And Ridicule Works.)

The End Is What You Want, The Means Is How You Get It. Whenever We Think About Social Change, The Question Of Means And Ends Arises. The Man Of Action Views The Issue Of Means And Ends In Pragmatic And Strategic Terms. He Has No Other Problem; He Thinks Only Of His Actual Resources And The Possibilities Of Various Choices Of Action. He Asks Of Ends Only Whether They Are Achievable And Worth The Cost; Of Means, Only Whether They Will Work. ... The Real Arena Is Corrupt And Bloody.
