In this “primer for activists in the digital age”* the founder of DailyKos.com establishes the new rules of today’s political battleground to empower everyday people to take action and effect positive change.

The walls between the people and the power are being torn down thanks to our ever-evolving, social media loving, tech-savvy culture. By understanding the new dynamics and rules of power in the digital era, you too can change the world.

Founder of one of the nation’s most influential political blogs, Markos Moulitsas Zúniga has drawn up his revolutionary strategies such as:

• Reinvent the street protest
• Feed the backlash
• Demolish your opponents with ridicule
• Identify heroes and villains

Written for both the general public and the grassroots activist, Taking on the System is a timely reminder of the potential power and influence of everyday people.

“The most coherent guide to political organizing—on or off the Internet—penned in a generation.”—Al Giordano

“[Zúniga] turns his considerable insight and energy to detailing a manifesto for…radical social change.”—Booklist

“Passionate and accessible prose guaranteed to inspire and empower.”—Elizabeth Edwards

“Studded with practical tips and inspirational tales, teaches…how to turn your voice into a force-multiplier without losing your soul…”—James Wolcott, Vanity Fair columnist

“Tidily organized into pithy directives, including mobilizing, reinventing the street protest and feeding the backlash, this informative and entertaining book…moves easily among the current campaign cycle, pop culture phenomena such as Stephen Colbert and the successes and failures of the progressive movement in America.”—*Publishers Weekly (starred review)
