If you like it at the expense of others, then congrats to you. You're in good company...

Ahh yes the famous quote from Jesus "help the downtrodden, unless it's hard for you or other people. Then ignore them"

That's not what I said at all. Alinsky pitted 2 gangs against each other to get help for one of the gangs. If you think hurting one group of poor people to help another, then you're good with Alinsky.

What at the expense of others?

What is "it"?
If you like helping one group of poor people by hurting another group of poor people.
Rules for Radicals: Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

no, he pointed out that 2 groups were against each other with an insanely different power dynamic but that their were strategies around it.

Sidebar; you just described American treatment of first Nations people by the way.

Alinsky deliberately left out and demonized Italian gangs in Chicago while he mobilized the black gangs. It ended in a gang war. That's his modus operandi--divide and conquer.

Saul Alinsky was paid by the Catholic Church for his organizing. The longer he could keep his "disturbance" going, the longer he would get paid. Plus, he enjoyed the chaos.

You’re arguing for more “disorder”, if you think that protests should be scattered and disorganized, without clear identifiable goals.
All Alinsky did was codify his set of rules for a years long campaign to change the social order based on the needs of the people in that society.

Why is that horrible?

Karl Marx said he knew he was going to hell, but wanted to destroy the world and lead a new world in the aftermath.
Still no attribution for this? Odd that.

Marxism does the same thing ... a final struggle, a great judgment visited upon an evil world, out of which will emerge a purified world.
[And it] is this fantasy of a purified world, a cleansed world, which is so enormously pernicious and which has brought so much catastrophe upon us in this present century.

(Quote from Marx)
“Thus Heaven I’ve forfeited, I know it full well,” he wrote in a poem in 1837, a decade before his Manifesto. “My soul, once true to God, is chosen for Hell.” That certainly seemed to be the perverse destiny for Marx’s ideology, which consigned to death over 100 million souls in the twentieth century alone.

You are being redirected... (tan books)

Because his method created more disorder. In the case of the gangs, people got killed over his philosophy. He wanted an "enemy" and a "target" and not peacefully work with people. It's a "pit people against each other" philosophy. People are a "target", not a human to be worked with.
(Rules for Radicals)"
RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy.

Like the Nazi's did with the Jews.

See, that wasn’t so hard now was it?

Granted his ideas were bad enough in practice without having to bring in the woo woo devil made him do it polemic.
