Rules for Radicals is actually a pretty good book, and it's a short read. A bit nauseating at times, but Alinsky was pretty smart and had a lot of useful experience, even if his worldview was so twisted that he literally dedicated the book to Lucifer.

Bannon is an Alinsky admirer, and Jonah Goldberg always said his primary issue with the populist right was their "Alinsky envy." Useful book. I reread it during the Great Minnesota Pop-off of 2020 and I'm glad I did... a lot of things magically fell into place for me that time.
