The Organizer believes that this book, especially the main supporting character “Mac,” really captures the mind of the very best Organizers. It’s a disturbing portrait, one in which you care so much about justice for everybody that you’re willing to use individuals as if they were no more than tools.
That said, The Organizer believes that this coldness is necessary against the overwhelming forces of power and riches that are used against the people.
It’s worthwhile for people considering this life to read this book and consider Mac’s worldview. Accept it or reject it. Say it’s the only way or it’s crazy. Either way, you have to confront this approach. Whatever you believe about how Mac works, his way has been the way of real revolutionaries before him. Even if you don’t like it in these pages, you probably admire some of the real world accomplishments by past Organizers who approached the work this way.
