If the predictions made in The Push are accurate, I guess some of these points now not met will be met.

Huh? The Push? Are you talking about a popular movement in general that is having an effect on the leadership, or what? Reference please!

Anyway, some of the ideas in that book are really f'ing awesome and i myself have experimented with some! I.e. my Orgasm Liberation Front direct action in 1995, MN, MN. You familiar with? Along Alinsky's lines of playing (!) WITHIN the experience of those one wishes to reach most, but OUTSIDE the experience of those one seeks to challenge (for their severe alienation in various ways, i.e. racism). Some of the ideas Alinsky both inspired AND threatened to carry out (turned out that one just needed to be spoken in order to get subtle racists to the proverbial "table" of dialogue!!).
