An experiment in social organization

The McMaster University  hunger strike, organized under the auspices of MacDivest, bears the hall marks of a Saul D. Alinsky style social protest.  The question is, was this inflammation all a kind of experiment by the students of Mac’s school of social work?

We will never know, because you can never admit to a con.  But the nexus of the cause, its sensationalization, the haranguing of the crowd, the hunger strike’s early capitulation, and Mac’s school of social work together seem to point at a lab experiment in the techniques of Alinsky style social activism, in which, in this case, the experiment wasn’t allowed to get out of hand.

People have a right to wonder if they weren’t being used for ulterior purposes.  Alinsky always had an ulterior motive in his work, which is why he dedicated his 1971 book “Rules for Radicals” to Lucifer.
