To understand things, it’s usually not enough to look only at the “official” history. That’s the history of the winners—or those who consider themselves to be winners. It’s much more important to look at the fringes, the radicals, and the nonconformists.To understand the U.S., it’s certainly helpful to have read people like Noam Chomsky, but it gets really interesting with such enigmatic figures as Saul Alinsky.

Demonized and idolized by both the right and the left. Reviled as a communist, a Christian, a Satanist, and a traitor to his own country.

His writings were far more influential than one might think—from the Tea Party to the Occupy movement. Hillary Clinton, Obama, and the Alt-Right all draw on his ideas.He’s something like Gramsci in Europe. A radical leftist who was studied in depth by the radical right. He writes it himself in the preface to Rules for Radicals: “the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom—Lucifer”

How should one confront the devil? We need the light, but darkness arises from it as well. Emancipatory movements that oppress the world. Oppressors who liberate the world. Good, evil—none of these are standards for understanding anything.

I think we need a new metaphysics, a new radical dialectic, a completely new understanding of a globalized, networked mass society.

Most likely, as always, it will boil down to a new religion—a new dark age. We can still do something. We can still think differently… let’s give it a try.
