Strategy for Forcing Political Change Through Orchestrated Crisis
First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and his wife Frances Fox Piven (both longtime members of the Democratic Socialists of America, where Piven today is an honorary chair), the “Cloward-Piven Strategy” seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.
Inspired by the August 1965 riots in the black district of Watts in Los Angeles (which erupted after police had used batons to subdue a black man suspected of drunk driving), Cloward and Piven published an article titled “The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty” in the May 2, 1966 issue of The Nation. Following its publication, The Nation sold an unprecedented 30,000 reprints. Activists were abuzz over the so-called “crisis strategy” or “Cloward-Piven Strategy,” as it came to be called. Many were eager to put it into effect.
In their 1966 article, Cloward and Piven charged that the ruling classes used welfare to weaken the poor; that by providing a social safety net, the rich doused the fires of rebellion. Poor people can advance only when “the rest of society is afraid of them,” Cloward told The New York Times on September 27, 1970. Rather than placating the poor with government hand-outs, wrote Cloward and Piven, activists should work to sabotage and destroy the welfare system; the collapse of the welfare state would ignite a political and financial crisis that would rock the nation; poor people would rise in revolt; only then would “the rest of society” accept their demands.

Lien said the best way to control the opposition was to lead it, and that’s what this really is about, except it isn’t the left leading America to doom. It never has been.
This is yet another fine example of refined propaganda devised by the think tank stooges of the top one percent. The proof is the real destroyers are the psychopaths who call themselves CEO’s. While working to first destroy organized labor, they then preceeded onto
exporting the jobs, but that’s not enough for these vindictive people. No, now they have themselves organized and essentially unionized each category of business, poured money into
phony non-profits and subverted the laws though lawyers posing as lobbists to their hired
politicians, whom their own media has propagandized throughly. Effectively now making it
a case of extortion via state mandated traning and, hence, corporate donations for the right
to even have a job.
Is it wonder then that there’s such a push to disarm the people? Last thing they want is a means for a slave revolt as the hopeless and old get a glimmer of reality. LOL! Someone once said that someday the poor will eat the rich. I think that day is close, I hope so.
Very smart man you are.
