'''Saul Alinsky''' (1909 - 1972) was a liberal community organizer in Chicago who developed a method of local organizing that was widely copied by Democrats, and influenced [[Barack Obama]] and [[Hillary Clinton]]. He is credited with the term "community organizer."  His most well-known accomplishment was the book ''Rules for Radicals''.  He wanted reform inside the system by pressuring government officials to take into account the needs and wants of neighborhood residents. He was opposed by far-left radicals who wanted to destroy capitalism and who feared that Alinsky was strengthening it by resolving the issues most important to the poor.
