             Cloward-Piven: The Strategy Being Used Against America

   Posted Monday, June 12, 2023
   By AMAC, Parker Bono

   The Cloward-Piven strategy was developed by professors Richard Cloward and
   Francis Fox Piven during the 1960s. In their strategy, Cloward and Piven
   outlined a plan to implement monumental changes in America by abusing the
   nation to the point of destruction. Rather than dismissing this radical
   idea, the left has chosen to largely adopt the strategy and assist in its
   materialization. 

   The Cloward-Piven strategy was originally published as "The Weight of the
   Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty" in The Nation on May 2, 1966. The primary
   objective of the strategy is to create chaos with the hopes of destroying
   America's capitalist economy and replacing it with a socialist system that
   includes guaranteed incomes. For their malicious dreams to come to
   fruition, Cloward and Piven recommended "a massive drive to recruit the
   poor onto the welfare rolls." However, this is not because Cloward and
   Piven are altruists. Rather, they are anarchists. The point of surging
   welfare claims is to enroll as many individuals as it takes to send the
   United States into an economic crisis.

   Cloward and Piven specifically mention targeting America's large cities
   for their colossal welfare push. As Cloward and Piven put it, "A series of
   welfare drives in large cities would, we believe, impel action on a new
   federal program to distribute income." The duo also asserts that
   conditions on benefits, such as work requirements, are "violations of
   civil liberties throughout the nation, and in a pervasive oppression of
   the poor."

   An artificially ballooned welfare system is not the only element of the
   Cloward-Piven strategy. In their blueprints, Cloward and Piven reveal that
   the best way to achieve their goals is to create a new loyal voting block
   out of the rapidly increasing number of welfare recipients. According to
   Cloward and Piven, "If organizers can deliver millions of dollars in cash
   benefits to the ghetto masses, it seems reasonable to expect that the
   masses will deliver their loyalty to their benefactors." This is one of
   the oldest schemes in humanity's existence: feudalism. This ancient
   structure is being developed in America today, particularly with record
   levels of illegal immigration. Through their complicity in the border
   crisis, the left is aiming to develop an army of loyal serfs who will work
   to destroy America, whether knowingly or unknowingly. This has been
   replicated numerous times, with tyrants throughout history importing
   non-citizens who are ultimately used against the best interests of the
   domestic population.

   The theories of Cloward and Piven insist that the intentional destruction
   of America's major systems will compel the federal government to develop a
   communist universal basic income program. This was explicitly stated by
   the pair when they wrote, "If this strategy were implemented, a political
   crisis would result that could lead to legislation for a guaranteed annual
   income." The two reiterated this when declaring, "The ultimate aim of this
   strategy is a new program for direct income distribution." Furthermore,
   both Cloward and Piven agreed that the mainstream media would play a
   critical role in their organized attack against America. To quote Cloward
   and Piven, "As the crisis develops, it will be important to use the mass
   media to inform the broader liberal community about the inefficiencies and
   injustices of welfare."

   All of this explains the policies of those on the radical left. In fact,
   Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the rest of the so-called
   "Squad" have been directly commended by Piven. To quote Piven, "What
   people like AOC are doing, what the Squad is doing, is really very
   important." It should be noted that Piven is both an active member and
   honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America.

   Additionally, the Cloward-Piven strategy explains the left's fixation on
   exploiting every crisis they possibly can. Back in 2008, Obama's chief of
   staff, Rahm Emanuel, infamously proclaimed, "You never want a serious
   crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is it's an opportunity to
   do things that you think you could not do before." Radical Democrats like
   Ocasio-Cortez have adhered to this notion. To advance the "Green New Deal"
   agenda, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has bombastically alleged, "The world is gonna
   end in 12 years if we don't address climate change." Ocasio-Cortez is by
   no means the first climate alarmist to place a doomsday timer on the
   planet. In 2006, Democrat Al Gore notoriously predicted, "Within the next
   10 years, the world will reach a point of no return." More recently,
   Democrats utilized the existence of COVID-19 to strategically enact
   illicit election rules and procedures, ultimately allowing them to obtain
   increased political power in 2020. Still, these are far from the only
   examples. The list of situations where leftists have maliciously created
   or exploited a crisis is seemingly endless.

   Despite many parallels to the platform of modern Democrats, the
   Cloward-Piven strategy is rarely mentioned in major political discussions.

   While most of America ignores the strategy, it is being forced upon the
   developing and impressionable minds of children. In American high school
   curriculums, the Cloward-Piven strategy is praised and compared to the
   American Revolution. According to a lesson by University of Northern
   Colorado professor Christopher Muscato, "The Cloward-Piven strategy is a
   political gambit designed to overwhelm the American government by placing
   so many demands on the bureaucratic structure that it collapses...It may
   be messy, but it does hearken back to a fundamental ideology of the
   American republic: If it ain't fixed, break it."

   The America outlined by Cloward and Piven has sadly now taken shape. Each
   and every day, the U.S. is infiltrated by a growing number of illegal
   immigrants. In an average month of Joe Biden's presidency, at least
   200,000 individuals will illegally enter the United States. Illegal
   crossings are only expected to increase after the recent expiration of
   Title 42. Estimates suggest that approximately 63% of non-citizens are
   actively accessing one or more forms of taxpayer-funded welfare.
   Comparatively, just 35% of U.S. households receive some form of welfare. A
   consistent influx of welfare recipients is exactly what Cloward and Piven
   proposed to ambush America. Furthermore, as was also proposed by Cloward
   and Piven, large cities are already expanding beyond simply bloated
   welfare rolls and towards a communist system that includes universal basic
   incomes. So-called universal basic income programs exist in at least 50
   areas across the country. Significant cities include Los Angeles, San
   Francisco, Denver, Austin, and New York. Many of the aforementioned
   projects have been directly funded by Biden's radical "American Rescue
   Plan". Finally, the mainstream media is actively executing their role in
   the Cloward-Piven strategy as well, colluding with progressives to advance
   narratives that are favorable to themselves.

   The United States currently faces an existential threat under the
   leadership of Joe Biden. However, Biden is not the brain behind the
   disaster that America is living through. Instead, America's immigration
   crisis and growing economic crisis were both plotted more than five
   decades ago by professors Cloward and Piven. The left had plans to make
   Biden's America a reality as far back as the 1960s, but they lacked enough
   resources to do so. Now in the 2020s, the left has seized enough political
   power to be able to execute the Cloward-Piven strategy, and they are most
   definitely not letting any crisis which they have artificially created go
   to waste.
