Alinsky was a satanist also. He dedicated his book, "Rules for Radicals" to Lucifer ( the devil ) Why did Alinsky dedicate his book to Lucifer? Well, in the dedication he says that Lucifer was the first radical to win a kingdom. Imagine the stupidity of that statement. Satan was the first radical to win a kingdom called hell so that is Alinsky's hero? Really?! Satan doesn't own hell. That is a temporary situation because at the end of this age he is going to be bound by a chain and thrown in the pit. Hardly a ruler over Hell by any stretch of the imagination. A captive? Yes!! 10,000 times over! Here is some good advice for communist satanists who think lifting up satan is a good idea. First read the bible from cover to cover. The bible says God won. The battle isn't even a battle because lucifers fate has been sealed. He is doomed. Now who cares to join him down there? - Jeremiah
--- aaand right back to "Satanism". Ho-kaay. I think this is because jokes sail over your head and obviously so does any deeper or metaphorical meaning.
What's mentioned in Allinsky's book (I looked this up) is Lucifer, not Satan (Lucifer = 'bringer of light') which is an allegory for, as he describes, the "first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment". In other words he's using a known mythological (mythological: fairy tale) figure to make an inspirational point about rebellion. It doesn't mean the writer believes in Lucifer (or Satan, or anything else) any more than an atheist using the prhrase "god only knows" is an invocation of religious faith.
A representation that sailed far over your head. There's no such thing as "Satanism" except in the reactionary minds of tiny little minded perverts who constantly go around inventing demons to point at -- or exploit the ignorance of the gullible.
As noted earlier, "Satan" is the invention of some organised religion propagandist bent on dividing the world into a simplistic dichotomy of "good versus evil" for the simple unsophisticated minds of ancient simple unsophisticated peoples. To paraphrase Voltaire, where Satan does not exist, it is necessary for Christianism to invent him. It's a marketing tool, generically known as fearmongering. And he has nothing to do with communism, as you were ridiculously promulgating then, and he has nothing to do with Alinksy, as you're trying to do now, and even less with O'bama, since all that is is an association fallacy based on his reading the book of a mythological idea that doesn't exist in the real world anyway.
Which completely smacks of book-burning, but that's another topic.
But let's add this to the list of what this topic is not about:
- communism
- Karl Marx
- Adolf Hitler
- Barack Obama
- Saul Alinsky
- Karl Marx
- General bullshit
Did I leave any out?
Sorry but the world is not a fricking "Doctor Doom" comic book. Satan (Doctor Doom, Emmanuel Goldstein, whoever you want) is a simplified allegory for the unknown -- the inherent fears of humanity dumbed-down into a fake villain so the simple can personify those unknowns and therefore not have to think any deeper about Fate. "He" comes from the same source as the boogeyman and the monsters under the bed when the light goes out -- ignorance.
Time to grow up, stop running away and deal with the real world now; monsters don't magically appear under the bed just because it's dark.
Wrong. Lucifer is named in the bible as Gods arch enemy. He is indeed the god of communists whether they acknowledge that fact or not is a moot issue. They are doing his work. - Jeremiah
Wrong. Communism has no "god" because it's not a religion. And something being mentioned in the bible doesn't make it a real thing. What's more, declaring something you're opposed to (or don't understand) to be "doing the work of a devil" is childish and an act of intellectual cowardice.
Yours,
