Pick The Target, Freeze It, Personalize It,

The Despair Is There; Now It's Up To Us To Go In And Rub Raw The Sores Of Discontent, Galvanize Them For Radical Social Change.

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.

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.)

To Say That Corrupt Means Corrupt The Ends Is To Believe In The Immaculate Conception Of Ends And Principles.

My Only Fixed Truth Is A Belief In People, A Conviction That If People Have The Opportunity To Act Freely And The Power To Control Their Own Destinies, They'll Generally Reach The Right Decisions.
