Steps to Change a Culture for the WorseSaul Alinsky (1909–1972) was an American community activist and political theorist whose teachings have had a profound effect on the radical Democratic agenda and the philosophy of both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. In 1971, right before his death, he published Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals, which is a book about successfully running a movement for cultural change.Rather than list his 13 rules for radicals, let me sum them up for you in how they are practically applied to a society. And this is exactly the same blueprint the Nazis used in post-WWI Germany.• Words and Terms are Redefined• History is Revised and Rewritten• Questions are Not Encouraged Nor Allowed• Rules are Established• Compliance and Obedience is Expected / Demanded• Gatekeepers are Empowered• Power Now Rests with the Few and Not the Many• Decision and Authority Flow from the Top Down• All Organizations Naturally Seek Control• Double and Triple-Down Until No Dissent ExistsBy the way, this is also how control is exercised over the church by the clergy, denominational leaders, and family gatekeepers. It is not a pretty sight.It Only Takes One Person to Make a DifferenceBut God had something completely different in mind when He instituted His church. And today, we are going to see how He empowered, not just the clergy, but all His people with His Spirit and gave them bold access to His throne of grace (Heb. 4:16). The implications are life-changing.Remember, it only takes one person to make a difference.Because of the transgression of a land, many are its princes; but by (who) a man (singular) of understanding and knowledge right will be prolonged – Proverbs 28:2.Maybe that person is you.To download the slides for this message, click – HEREOur Latest Posts:562: Where We Are Now and Where We Are Going561: Church Ain't Working, Its Got No Power560: If He's the One Who Builds It, He Will Come559: Apostasy and Deception are Key Signs of the End558: The Most Important Prophetic Scriptures

Luisteraars! Vol verwachting klopte ons hart voor het nieuwe regeerakkoord, maar die kwam te laat voor deze podcast. Dus de powerduiding is voor de volgende keer. Dit keer: een schraappodcast over van alles en nog wat. Zoals: winst bij de Raad voor de Journalistiek voor Jesse. Ik was door de eigenaar van gastouderbureau Dadim gedaagd vanwege mijn boek Zo hadden we het niet bedoeld. Mij werd verweten journalistiek onzorgvuldig, tendentieus en feitelijke onjuist te berichten over zijn gastouderbureau. De Raad oordeelde van niet. Het is aanleiding voor een korte rant van mij over wat zich voor en na de publicatie van mijn boek allemaal heeft voltrokken, want dat was toch wel hoogst merkwaardig. Voor de rest: Rutger was op tournee in de Verenigde Staten en heeft daar enkele loeiend rechtse boekjes gelezen. Het eerste boek is Nassim Nicholas Talebs Skin in the Game. Taleb brengt een lofzang aan mensen die de de consequenties dragen van hun acties. Best een interessante bril om de wereld door te bekijken: hoe serieus moet je iemand nemen als die niks heeft te verliezen als die het mis heeft? Denk bijvoorbeeld aan van die podcasts met overmoedige jongemannen die over van alles en nog wat een mening hebben, maar verder toch geen wezenlijke verantwoordelijkheid voor wat dan ook dragen. Geweldig boek, aldus Rutger. En dan: Peter Thiels boek From Zero to One. Een boek over hoe je een start-up groot maakt. Peter Thiel is een enge kapitalist die op Trump stemt, dus het is een beetje a-typische lectuur, maar Rutger adviseert: lees nou gewoon eens zo'n boek. Het zijn praktische wijsheden die niet alleen leerzaam zijn voor ondernemers, maar ook voor wereldverbeteraars. Tot slot: nog wat smakelijke parlementaire anekdotiek uit het boek Macht der Gewoonte van Carla Hoetink. Wist u bijvoorbeeld dat je in de jaren vijftig en zestig geen Kamervragen mocht stellen op grond van slechts berichten uit de krant? Nou, bij deze!

This episode examines the ways organizing develops a strategy to bring about change, the kinds of tactics used to achieve change, and the different kinds of democratic action involved in moving from the world as it is towards a more just and generous one. To ground the discussion it focuses on the initiation, development, and success of a campaign run by Common Ground in Milwaukee which addressed the foreclosure crisis there in the wake of the 2007-08 financial crisis. This serves as a case study through which to stage a wider reflection on the relationship between strategy, tactics and different forms of shared action in organizing.GuestsKathleen Patrón has been an organizer since 2011 and is currently the lead organizer of Greater Boston Interfaith Organization (GBIO) where she has been organizing around issues of police reform  and accountability and healthcare.  She is also leading a process of reorganizing GBIO. Prior to her work in Boston she worked with Common Ground in Milwaukee which is the focus of the conversation.Sanford Horwitt has a wide ranging background. A long time reside of Chicago, he began his career teaching at the University of Illinois in Chicago, he was then a legislative aide and press secretary for Congressman Abner Mikva. Later he was an advisor in the national gun control movement and directed the Citizen Participation Project at People for the American Way where he founded the First Vote program. Sandy is also an author, his books include "Let Them Call Me Rebel," the definitive biography of the godfather of community organizing, Saul Alinsky. And alongside that he is also executive producer of a new PBS documentary, "Mikva!

Livro indicado: Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals - Saul D. Alinsky

Scott, Karl, and Brett Veinotte of the School Sucks Project continue their discussion of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals.  Picking up where they left off from last week, the trio polishes off the remaining rules on Alinsky's list. Scott says, “What he outlines here is pretty much the way things work. I don’t think he invented anything. I think he discovered, codified, and learned how to teach what really works and what really happens to people."  According to Alinksy himself, "The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away." Even if you're unwilling to embrace the tactics, you'd be unwise to ignore them.  Tune in to hear more on Alinsky-style organizing, real-world influences, and the rules continuing relevance. 

Scott and Karl are joined by Brett Veinotte, creator of the School Sucks Project, for a special two-part discussion on Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals.  Divided into ten chapters, Rules for Radicals provides 10 lessons on how a community organizer can accomplish the goal of successfully uniting disenfranchised people with the power to effect change on a variety of issues. Alinsky also offers his list of 13 “Rules for Radicals," tactics which Karl calls "a poisoner's manual."  Does this book promote disorder in society? According to Brett, “You can give it an optimistic treatment like it’s real-world tactics for changing the status quo. More cynically, it’s a non-ideologically driven, slogan rich quest for power relying on ridicule and polarization happening in an environment where widespread rationality is not going to be a factor." If that sounds like a lot to unpack, you are not mistaken. Tune in for part one of a revolutionary discussion on Alinsky's mass power organization and its ongoing application. 

“We can have a really inspiring conversation [around racial and economic justice], bring people together around a positive vision. Not just fighting against something, fighting for something, for the world we actually want to live in, that we’ve wanted to live in since we were born, that we want our children to inherit.” For our fourteenth episode, we sit down with Tim Lo Surdo, Founding Director of Democracy in Colour, Australia’s first national racial justice advocacy organisation led by people of colour.   Together we discuss the importance of political advocacy and campaigning, how Democracy in Colour is working to dismantle structural racism and how to be a strong ally for a number of impacted communities.   Show Notes: Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals by Saul D.
