I used anomaly because, by definition: "something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected." I wish that it wasn't proper usage, but I'll bet if you were to ask Madam C. J. Walker, she would agree with me. ;) Thank you for the link. I totally agree with you about successful (non-victim) minorities not fitting into the progressive (read: Marxist) agenda.

The federal courts are the ones really in charge of state prisons.
Subjects taught during a week of annual training are all about the signed off on transfer of liability.
In other words, at the end of a "block of instruction," you sign paperwork that the state told you to do or not to do something.
That way, the officer answers to an inmate's grievance in federal court, not the State Of Alabama.

Some individuals had influences in different ways. Just because some radical activist stands out does not make him the cause of what you see later. Allinsky was an a-philosophical nihilist who practiced and wrote about his local organizing tactics, which in turn influenced the tactics of the violent New Left in the late 1960s. He did not deal in ideas and principles beyond that. He did not create the trend towards collectivism or make it possible. Neither did an Italian prisoner picking up in the middle of it in the 1930s with "The Plan". (That Hillary Clinton while in college idolized Allinsky tells you more about her than any claim alleging that he was the cause of a national ideological trend with today's results.)

In attributing their tactics as the central cause, without regard to how they caused what you claim, you have left out all account of the ideas behind cultural trends spanning centuries and how they worked their way through society and were implemented in policy. That process is ignored and replaced by conspiracy theorists with the anti-intellectual evil man theory of history typical of the way the old John Birch Society used to rationalize all kinds of alleged conspiracies it hysterically embraced and tried to spread -- and the way the current "Agenda 21" UN conspiracy theorists hysterically spread radical quotes from powerless UN functionaries rationalized as a dire threat, while ignoring the source and spread of ideas and how they are in fact implemented in policy by those with the means to do it in all levels of government.

The British Fabians played a larger role, but not as a conspiracy of evil characters who "somehow" were able to act in government. They were sophisticated intellectuals who adopted socialist ideas beginning in the late 19th century and who knew what they were doing. They were not radical nihilistic street agitators, they were a growing group of professional intellectuals who organized to consistently spread their ideas throughout the professions and in politics over decades, including in America, in order to turn them into government policy. They couldn't have done it without the existing established intellectual trends, and without building on and associating with the ideas already adopted by other intellectuals in both Britain and the US in accordance with the European counter-Enlightenment philosophy that had spread to America. As an intellectual movement, some of whose members were influential in government (like Keynes) they were one part of the trend in the spread of ideas and their implementation.
