Developing a Strategy for Fifth Generation Warfare

If a group of activists is to attempt to respond to cultural dominance of the media and education by left-wingers, a response would require an activist organization. Such organizations are in the beginnings of development but have a way to go before they can be effective.

As such organizations develop, there are two ways to influence political outcomes, including elections as well as laws and even legal decisions: (1) locally and (2) the Alinsky method. The Alinsky method is named after the radical community organizer from the mid twentieth century, Saul Alinsky.

1) Locally affecting some political outcome would require subversive political action, which would mean developing a group of people who are focused on influencing politics locally and are willing to make considerable commitments to participation in local institutions. That would mean first, at the core national level, developing a specific program and then coordination and training that would be communicated to the core members. The core trained activists would advocate the platform in political clubs and interest group venues (e.g., NRA, NAACP, etc., etc.). They would become active and interested in such groups and would infiltrate such groups in order to influence or control them. That is a slow process and requires long term organization and a growing group of active/committed members. It also requires that there will growth in the group and locally decentralized groups that are coordinated at a national level.

2) The Alinsky approach would involve (based on Saul Alinsky's book "Rules for Radicals"):

a. Engaging in a serious of publicity generating actions that are surprising to the liberal establishiment.

b. In those actions emphasizing a key contradiction in the "rule book" of the liberal establishment (eg., we help the poor but we create poverty by bankrupting businesses through regulation) and turning the contradiction in the rule book into the key issue and focus of an intensive, publicity generating campaign.

c. Picking one political figure and freezing the political figure who becomes the target of ongoing actions about violating their own rule book. This figure would be inextricably linked to the liberal establishment (e.g, Ted Kennedy, Thomas Friedman or Hillary).

d. In generating the actions in a, be dramatic, outlandish and funny. Go outside the experience of the opponent and do things to which they cannot respond reasonably. The goal is to generate publicity and make the opponent look foolish, even if at the expense of making yourself look so

e. After you have a repuation, then threats alone are typically more effective than action. Threats of extreme, funny or outlandish action should be coupled with actual action to amplify publicity

f. Change tactics before they become a drag. Keep the media entertained.

This approach can be done with a small group of highly committed activists but requires creative strategic thinking on the activists' part and people who are willing to devote themselves completely to this effort.
