“Walk toward the fire. Don’t worry about what they call you. All
those things are said against you because they want to stop you in
your tracks. But if you keep going, you’re sending a message to
people who are rooting for you, who are agreeing with you. The
message is that they can do it, too.”-Andrew Breitbart
« Rules
for Radicals »
Pour
contrer la Gauche, il faut comprendre son mode de pensée, ses
méthodes, ses règles. Un pas dans la bonne direction afin
d'atteindre cet objectif et de lire «
Rules
for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals »,
un livre de
Saul
Alinsky publié en 1971.
Le livre
en question a été écrit pour les organisateurs communautaires de
milieux à faibles revenus afin d'aider les « Have-Nots »
(ceux qui n'ont pas) à faire des gains et à obtenir l'égalité sur
les plans sociaux, économiques, légaux et politiques.
De
manière directe ou indirecte, les notions exposées dans ce livre
sont exploitées depuis quatre décennies déjà par diverses
organisations qui, vous vous en doutez bien, penchent à gauche.
Voici
un résumé de ces règles, en anglais, tirées de
la
page Wikipédia sur le sujet :
“Power is not only what you
have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2
main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power
from flesh and blood.
“Never go outside the
expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and
retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
Whenever possible, go outside
the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity,
anxiety and uncertainty.
“Make the enemy live up to
its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a
reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no
one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
“Ridicule is man’s most
potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s
infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the
enemy into concessions.
“A good tactic is one your
people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come
back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest
better ones.
“A tactic that drags on too
long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.
“Keep the pressure on.
Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off
balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the
flank with something new.
“The threat is usually more
terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream
up many more consequences than any activist.
"The major premise for
tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a
constant pressure upon the opposition." It is this unceasing
pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are
essential for the success of the campaign.
“If you push a negative
hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence
from the other side can win the public to your side because the
public sympathizes with the underdog.
“The price of a successful
attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score
points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.
“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.
L'organisation
de campagne de Barack Obama s'est inspirée de ce livre pour
remporter la victoire.
Vous n'avez pas à lire le livre d'Alinsky au complet, mais comprendre ces règles est fondamental si vous voulez efficacement faire face à la gogauche.
