The Thirteenth Rule Of Radical Tactics: Pick

The Democratic Ideal Springs From The Ideas Of Liberty, Equality, Majority Rule Through Free Elections, Protection Of The Rights Of Minorities, And Freedom To Subscribe To Multiple Loyalties In Matters Of Religion, Economics, And Politics Rather Than To A Total Loyalty To The State. The Spirit Of Democracy Is The Idea Of Importance And Worth In The Individual, And Faith In The Kind Of World Where The Individual Can Achieve As Much Of His Potential As Possible.

The Classic Statement On Polarization Comes From Christ: 'he That Is Not With Me Is Against Me.' (luke 11:23) He Allowed No Middle Ground To The Moneychangers In The Temple. One Acts Decisively Only In The Conviction That All The Angels Are On One Side And All The Devils On The Other.

No Issue Can Be Negotiated Unless You First Have The Clout To Compel Negotiation.

I Prize My Own Independence Too Much. And Philosophically, I Could Never Accept Any Rigid Dogma Or Ideology, Whether It's Christianity Or Marxism…the Greatest Crimes In History Have Been Perpetrated By Such Religious And Political And Racial Fanatics, From The Persecutions Of The Inquisition On Down To Communist Purges And Nazi Genocide.

A Good Tactic Is One That Your People Enjoy.
