This book serves as a conservative-style activist primer for those who want to make a difference in their local communities and fight back against the regressive left and the LGBT onslaught which has become all too prevalent in our country.
"Dedication and Leadership" is an extended lecture delivered by Douglas Hyde, an Anglo-Irish freedom fighter who helped establish the Republic of Ireland. Before that, however, he was a dedicated communist, and he worked his way up the ranks of the Communist Party in Great Britain. He also witnessed the efforts and commitments of communist partisans in other parts of the world.
From all of his experience as a former communist, as well as his research into the nature and machinery of the Communist Party, he was able to explain to an audience of Catholics why Communists have been more effective in taking over governments and waging total war to push their ideology, even though there are far fewer of them in the world.
Here are the main points
that I have taken away from his lecture, and how the points he brought up can be used to fight against the LGBT agenda, or any other iteration of Marxist evil:
that I have taken away from his lecture, and how the points he brought up can be used to fight against the LGBT agenda, or any other iteration of Marxist evil:
1. Yes, we want people who
are fighting this LGBT agenda to realize that they are a part of a much larger
movement. They are indeed changing the world, making it a better place.

2. It is so important to
give our new members a clear training in what we are trying to do. They do need
to get the bigger picture.

a. We are not looking to
live in a world where we coexit with evil, but rather to push LGBT out of
it entirely.

b. They are not just
winning one battle, but we are fighting an all-out war which will be fought in
multiple fronts.

3. New members must
realize that we are all about making a difference, not just informing people.
We are not committed to education, but engagement and change in learning. That
is what is happening. At the end of every meeting, goals have to be
established: "How are you going to share or practice what you have
learned?"

4. LGBT people must be
seen as a small yet all-too-powerful enemy which we are standing up against.
They are separating us from our fellows, neighbors, and our countrymen as a
whole. They are a divisive, bigoted mob, but a small mob, nonetheless.

5. People need to feel
that they are helping the hurt, the poor, the downtrodden in some fashion. We
have to show the world that we are helping victims, people who have been
victimized and bullied.

6. The fight against the
LGBT agenda must be presented as a fight of Good vs. Evil. We need people to
get this, that we are dealing with an enemy which actively hates us and wants
nothing but our harm and demise.

7. People need to see that
our side is already the winning side, and they in effect are coming along for
the ride. They are going to be part of a much bigger movement which is already
taking off. Communists are often taught that Communism is going to be the final
government system of man, so they are urged to help hasten it along.

8. The Communists stress
having their new members take classes. Perhaps MassResistance should discuss
what kind of course or review we can put forward to get people so that they
have the basic ideas and ideologies down. They need to understand that this
whole LGBT agenda has been pushing a much broader set of goals, and for a much
greater time than realized.

9. Douglas Hyde compares
the Catholic Church with the Communist Party, and those comparisons are not the
most instructive. The Catholic Church has imposed a rigid hierarchy, in which
the laity can never become priests, teachers, leaders such as the priests and
bishops already are. The constant theme through all the books I have read about
organizing and activism is that we want, we urge people to become leaders, to
inspire others. That is key, this is crucial. We are not interested in creating
a narrow hierarchy at all.

10. Activists should be
the best employees in their respective workplaces in order to earn the respect
and the regard of their colleagues. "People will not care what you know,
until they know that you care." With this line of thinking in mind,
perhaps there is some merit to help Carrie Nolland and the Kenyans to set up
their well …

11. Keep being active, and
keep the team of activists active doing meaningful things. This is why it's worth
our while to help with causes that we may not win, but we can at least create
and grow a strong sense of camaraderie and connection. Hence, it's worth our
while to keep connecting with others even during this Coronavirus problem.

the activists realizable goals, even if they are relatively small, while
pushing harder for the larger goals.

be afraid to make mistakes and to fail, but they should also be trained, be
prepared to learn from their mistakes.

14. Whatever we share,
write, or publish to the public, must be clearly understandable–no
"in-house" jargon.

17. Find points of
agreement with people whom we are trying to convert to our side, rather than
pointing out to them directly that they are wrong. We have to show people that
we are on their side, and want to help the in whatever way we can.

18. Most people look at
challenges are problems in the world, and ask "What is someone going to do
about this?" Leaders ask instinctively: "What can I do about
this?" We want to instill and inculcate in people that they can and must
do something about stopping this LGBT perversity in their midst.
