The Cloward-Piven Strategy
Banned.Video ^ | May 20, 2023 | Greg Reese

Posted on 05/20/2023 9:36:55 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

One of several strategies currently being deployed against the American people

https://gregreese.substack.com

The Cloward-Piven strategy was developed by Richard Cloward and Frances Piven in the 1960s. It outlines a strategy for radical social change by way of abusing the system to the point of destruction.

The primary goal of the Cloward-Piven strategy is to create a political and economic crisis that would destroy capitalism and lead to the implementation of a socialist system with a guaranteed income.

The strategy involves enrolling large numbers of people into the welfare system. As many people as it takes to overwhelm and strain the system until it collapses.

Everyone enrolled into the welfare system is also used as an army to carry out the destruction of the current system. They are registered to vote and instructed on how to vote. They are organized and mobilized and made to appear as grassroots organizations demanding more from the system.

The ideal outcome of the Cloward-Piven strategy is to collapse the current system. According to their theory, this will compel the government to implement a Universal Basic Income. Which would shift the US towards a more socialist system with increased government control over the economy.

Everyone is being encouraged to do it. Burn it Down is the new sexy ring.

In High School, they compare it to the American Revolution.

All of this explains the likes of AOC.

Since deployment, this strategy has been working well, meeting and exceeding expectations.

The perpetrators of this activity will hardly give it up now.

Did anyone think that the "Border Crisis" was founded in Christian humanitarianism?

I knew you didn't.

I take some comfort in the fact that they will be devoured by the monster they created.

And I do not use the word “devoured” metaphorically.

DOD “research” found that after missing four meals people rioted in the streets.

After ten days they started killing and eating people.

Hopefully they will all end up as MS-13 BBQ.

“... strategy is to create a political and economic crisis that would destroy capitalism and lead to the implementation of a socialist system with a guaranteed income....”

A collapse is most definitely coming but it won’t destroy capitalism. It will destroy the federal government.

Those communist cretins will not have anyone to protect them. And then the payback begins. There is going to be a lot of trash taken out.

As far as I’m concerned, those commies can burn for all eternity.

I'm reposting this from February that explains what I think is going on.


The left is using the tactic of sensory overload.

They are hitting the "normals" simultaneously with:

The goal is to wear people down by spinning their minds and attention in so many competing directions that normal people can't organize themselves against any of it.

They are using the strategy of Cloward-Piven on politics now. Overwhelm the opposition with too many narratives so that we lose focus on the real agenda.


They have escalated to trans school shootings and District Attorney lawfare overreach.

They complain about guns and school shootings and then put unidentified illegal alien men in school gymnasiums.

It's just going to get worse and worse as they try to overrun Republicans on every front at the same time.

The left is basically blitzkrieging the rest of us.

The Cloward-Piven strategy to destroy America has done lots of damage, but it has a few basic flaws that will save us.

The Democrat/communists were supposed to have permanently rigged elections starting with 2020.

They were very slopy and were forced to just strong arm and steal the White House.

That woke just enough Americans to jump out of the boiling water and fight back.

The “fight back” was successful and in spite of having two years to fix the problems with their attack we took back the House from the rodents.

We won the Senate although Ronna McRomney gave the rodents Nevada and Arizona so we have the mess we are in now.

The Republican take over of the House should have been something the communists could deal with by getting the old Kevin McCarthy installed as the Speaker.

Cue sad trombone music- the Speaker we have has the same name and same face but he is not the Kevin McCarthy Paul Ryan and the Quisling Caucus promised their commie buddies he would be.

Now things have gotten even worse for the Cloward and Piven Brigade because of the Durham Report and all it promises to do.

There will be impeachments (oh but no convictions and nobody goes to jail!!) Really? So what?

The impeachment trials put the Republicans in charge of the news narrative.

Sure the rodent controlled media has been forbidden to talk about the coming impeachment of Crime Boss Joey and the rest of the quislings but there is zero chance that they will be able to smoother news of an ongoing impeachment of a POTUS - even a fake one.

The impeachments will end and be voted on probably in early October 2024 just in time to remind the country of all the criminality of the Rodents.

That sets us up for a Big Election Night.

Cue the Whaa whaa whaa from the Surrender Monkeys who will whine “They’ll just cheat again!” REALLY?

Just like they cheated to hold the House and Senate and just like they cheated to give the Virginia Governorship to The Punk?

Those that demand red meat will have to settle for seeing Pencil Neck and Bang Bang’s boyfriend getting kicked out of the House, but for now pass the popcorn.

The impeachments will be great fun to watch and don’t forget Charlie McGonigal, Crooked Comey’s right hand man, is out there facing two federal indictments for corruption and believe me Charlie ain’t going to jail.

I first heard about this on the Glenn Beck show. It’s amazing to me how many Americans still, after all these years, don’t have a clue about what’s happening and why.

They can “wear down” everyone who doesn’t have the peace of Faith in The Lord.

The way things are going they will achieve their goals without having to collapse the system (though the system may collapse after they achieve their goals). They are aiming at a system where the Democrats, the government bureaucracy, and the tech corporations will control the country and getting the illegals on the voter rolls will achieve that for them. If it’s a guaranteed national income they want, they won’t have to collapse the economy to get that. Serious crises like hyperinflation, a depression, or government default are as likely to interfere with the workings of the plan as to fulfill it.
