The first step in community organization is community disorganization.

If the real radical finds that having long hair sets up psychological barriers to communication and organization, he cuts his hair. If I were organizing in an orthodox Jewish community, I would not walk in there eating a ham sandwich unless I wanted to be rejected so I could have an excuse to cop out.

The organizer dedicated to changing the life of a particular community must first rub raw the resentments of the people of the community.
