Yes, that's what I had in mind (though the name slipped my mind). I think the strategy dates farther back than Cloward-Piven though.

Cloward-Piven strategy.

“The Weight of the Poor; A strategy for Radical Social Change”: The Nation Magazine, July or August 1968.

Briefly, overburden social welfare systems with welfare recipients, collapse the system, impose your own Utopian heaven on earth society.

Give them credit, the left is pretty good at the collapse part. They are, however, incompetent eunuchs when it comes to pushing the Utopian side of the proposition.
