From The Moment The Organizer Enters A Community He Lives, Dreams... Only One Thing And That Is To Build The Mass Power Base Of What He Calls The Army. Until He Has Developed That Mass Power Base, He Confronts No Major Issues.... Until He Has Those Means And Power Instruments, His Tactics Are Very Different From Power Tactics. Therefore, Every Move Revolves Around One Central Point: How Many Recruits Will This Bring Into The Organization, Whether By Means Of Local Organizations, Churches, Service Groups, Labor Unions, Corner Gangs, Or As Individuals.
