Appendix E: Rules of Tactics*
“Tactics means doing what you can with what you have.”
1. Power is not only what you have but what the opposition thinks you have.
2. Never go outside the experience of your people.
3. Whenever possible go outside the experience of the opposition.
4. Make the opposition live up to its own book of rules.
5. Poking fun at the opposition is often a potent weapon.
6. A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.
7. A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.
8. Keep the pressure on.
9. The threat is usually more terrifying than the action itself.
10. The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will
maintain a constant pressure on the opposition.
*These “rules of tactics” are adapted from Rules For Radicals by Saul Alinsky,
Random House, 1971.
