Actually, the Cloward-Piven strategy does seem to be poised to accomplish one of its stated goals quite successfully: tearing down an existing government. So in that respect, it would seem to be working perfectly.
“tearing down an existing government”
But in truth, this is not their most important goal.
The most important goal of Cloward, Piven, Alinsky or Lucifer himself is self-aggrandizement. In this they will ultimately lose.
And the only way they have advanced their agenda (the lesser agenda of the overthrow of capitalism) is by concealing it completely from view, while accomplishing the opposite of each particular policy issue along the way (such as poverty, feminism, environment, and the rest).
So their victory is both backwards and stolen, demonstrating the fact that their ideology has zero, or even negative, intrinsic value. And what comes as a devastating defeat for the Cloward-Pivens is that none of them have either the intellect to understand this or the courage to face it.
