(^15) John Judis has noted that by the time Obama was ready to quit his foundation-funded community organizer
job to advance to the higher levels of counter-insurgency, he had become well aware of the futility,
hopelessness, and despair which are the typical product of the hyper-parochial, anti-political, and anti-
authoritarian or anti-leadership Alinskyite model of divide and conquer politics. At a conference of
Alinskyite operatives held at Harvard in October 1987, Obama told fellow operative Jerry Kellman that he
was bailing out in favor of a law degree, a career, a family, and financial stability. Obama appears to have
used the race issue to cover his retreat: he spoke of the fact that some Alinksyite micro-projects had turned to
anti-black racism. One of these was the Save Our Neighborhoods/Save Our Cities (SON/SOC, created in
early 1984) counterinsurgency project, which accused real estate brokers of block-busting previously white
blue-collar ethnic neighborhoods to promote an influx of super-exploited blacks. Obama pretended to be
shocked by the racist outbursts that came out of the SON/SOC, and obviously found this a welcome pretext
for departing for the Harvard boutique. In reality, racism of some kind is very frequently a product of the
Alinsky particularist-parochialist micro-organizing method. As Judis points out, one of Alinsky’s original
projects, the Back of the Yards Neighborhood Council, had supported the racist populist George Wallace
during the 1960s. This kind of fragmentation along racial and localist lines is exactly what the financiers who
fund these projects desire and are willing to pay for. The SON/SOC case is merely the reductio ad absurdum
of bankruptcy and counter-productive nature of the entire Alinsky method. According to Judis, Obama
summed up his views in an article published in the now defunct magazine Illinois Issues; the article would
eventually appear in an the anthology edited by Peg Knoepfle and entitled After Alinsky: Community
Organizing in Illinois (Springfield, IL: Sangamon State University, 1990), online at
http://www.edwoj.com/Alinsky/AlinskyObamaChapter1990.htm and
http://civic.uis.edu/Alinsky/AlinskyHomePage.htm. Judis, perhaps because he is now himself funded by the
Carnegie Endowment, cannot see that the goal of the whole Alinsky exercise is to keep subject populations
impotent in the face of the institutions controlled by international finance capital. The alternative to the dead
end of Alinsky methods is a broad national coalition or united front of the main components of working
people and their allies, such as the FDR coalition or the convergence of the student movement, the peace
movement, the black movement, and the labor movement that Martin Luther King was trying to promote at
the time of his assassination. Judis does point out the MLK was strongly opposed by Alinsky, showing the
latter’s conscious role as a wrecker and saboteur. See John Judis, “The Creation Myth: What Barack Obama
Won’t Tell You About his Community Organizing Past,” New Republic, September 10, 2008.

(^19) The line is supposedly borrowed from Malcolm X after the Kennedy assassination; Kennedy was
assassinated by the CIA operations directorate, as Joan Mellen has shown in her Farewell to Justice. Malcolm
X’s remark was therefore a piece of arrant stupidity and gullibility.
