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.
