Notes on Saul Alinsky and Neo-Marxism: Alinskys tactics were based, not on Stalins revolutionary violence, but on the Neo-Marxist strategies of Antonio Gramsci, an Italian Communist. Relying on gradualism, infiltration and the dialectic process rather than a bloody revolution, Gramscis transformational Marxism was so subtle that few even noticed the deliberate changes. Like Alinsky, Mikhail Gorbachev followed Gramsci, not Lenin. In fact, Gramsci aroused Stalinss wrath by suggesting that Lenins revolutionary plan wouldnt work in the West. Instead the primary assault would be on Biblical absolutes and Christian values, which must be crushed as a social force before the new face of Communism could rise and flourish. Malachi Martin gave us a progress report: By 1985, the influence of traditional Christian philosophy in the West was weak and negligible.... Gramscis master strategy was now feasible. Humanly speaking, it was no longer too tall an order to strip large majorities of men and women in the West of those last vestiges that remained to them of Christianitys transcendent God. crossroad.to/Quotes/communism/alinsky.htm
