Cloward and Biden: The Left's Strategy for Forcing Political Change through Orchestrated Crisis

“Never let a good crisis go to waste.” - Rahm Emanuel

Columbia University socialists Richard Cloward and his wife, Francis Piven, first proposed in 1966 a strategy to hasten the end of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.

Liberal organizations of late have tried to obscure this fact by claiming the only goal was the reduction of poverty by establishing a guaranteed income still let the cat out of the bag. From Wikipedia:

The ultimate objective of this strategy—to wipe out poverty by establishing a guaranteed annual income—will be questioned by some. Because the ideal of individual social and economic mobility has deep roots, even activists seem reluctant to call for national programs to eliminate poverty by the outright redistribution of income.
Redistribution of income, taking from one and giving it to another. As Joe the Plumber said, it sounds like Socialism to me. Well it is. Cloward and Piven were longtime members of the Democratic Socialists of America, where today he has an honorary chair.

Well now its 2020. Has anything changed? Well, here is the presumed Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden's proposal during our current pandemic.

Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, proposed expanding government ... at this critical moment in responding to the coronavirus crisis,” Biden said in a Medium post.
Biden says coronavirus panic “a wake-up call to action to climate change”
I think we have an opportunity now to significantly change the mindset of the American people, Biden said — …
Biden backs mail vote, says Trump's opposition 'un-American'
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is calling on Congress to provide enough money for every state to allow …
And while Joe takes advantage of the crisis to push his society changing measures, the liberal media proved its double standards by ignoring CNN's own evidence on Biden's rape accuser. Anyone who is critical of the media has noticed this for a while now. But what most do not notice is the progressive/liberal pattern to intentionally degrade or allow to degrade institutions and thus society itself so it can re-make it as the left desires. Or, to put it another way, the progressive left is willing to hurt you and things you care about to push their own agenda. And the easiest way to push an unpopular agenda is through a crisis.

I am wrong, you say? Progressives do not want to weaken institutions. Fine, please explain to me this:

How does open borders make us less likely to have pandemics?

How does illegal immigration increase the wages of the poor and urban communities?

What should be clear is that there are two pandemics. The VIRAL pandemic and the POLITICAL pandemic. The purpose of the political pandemic is to permanently rearrange the sources of power and control over many populations. A consequence of this is to dismember the brief but successful experiment in individual liberty and natural rights begun with the Enlightenment and Western liberalism. For this end America must die.

Like two ancient Titans, the opponents face off and use any and all events to advance their agendas. On the left, the number of participants are enormous, the list goes on and on. On the right, you can pretty much count the number of knights on one hand.

They are trying to force chsnge, but it’s not going to work. The left is losing bigly on the home schooling issue and people are more aware of the voter fraud built into mail voting which aint happening.

This article reminds me of a show on EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network called "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing," Saul Alinsky. He wanted a SOCIALIST America.
The people on the view want a socialist America...until THEY, on the View, get shut down. THEN they'll bellyache like there's no tomorrow.

Columbia University, again.

“Columbia University socialists Richard Cloward and his wife, Francis Piven, first proposed in 1966 a strategy to hasten the end of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.”

Who all do we know that attended Columbia University?

The Frankfurt School (of cultural Marxism) migrated to USA from Germany in the later 1940’s. They found a Marxism-friendly university here at which to re-establish themselves — Columbia University.

From Columbia University, they spread their dogma to infect other universities, public education (pur children being their prime propaganda targets), unions, Hollywood, our newspapers and media, our seminaries and now web entities.

Columbia University — the enemy within for 70 years.

Been hoping to find a list of big political and MSM players that attended Columbia University.

Obama attended 1981-83. Obama Foundation and Columbia University are linked.

Cloward-Piven is effective against government because it has no incentive to overcome obstacles to performing its duties. It just gives up and stops working. However, against private enterprise whose normal operating environment is overcoming obstacles—competition, price and supply changes, attracting customers—Cloward-Piven can only work for a limited period of time before being swept aside.
