The discussion will be led by Michael Turnblom. Following the turbulent political movements of the 1960s, Alinsky sought to codify his organizing strategies for the New Left's revolution. He openly calls for Machiavellian tactics as a means of rallying the \"have nots\" and seizing power from the \"haves.\" Many well-known goals and talking points of today's radical left are unfolded here, and Alinsky concludes by proposing a new approach he called \"proxy access,\" which since 1971 has carved a direct path for today's ESG investing and more.
