Is this panic a part of The Cloward and Piven Strategy to overload the government?

I am getting vague remembrances of something called The Cloward and Piven Strategy that was making the rounds about 10 years ago. If I remember correctly, the Strategy involved creating as many government dependents as possible so-as to overload the system, foment unrest and ultimately "nudge" people into calling for government to take control of every aspect of their lives. Anybody else remember any particulars?

It seems like names like Saul Alinksy and George Soros were invoked.

They hate Trump and will do ANYTHING to take him out including destroying the Trump economy and the American way of life.

I’ve always thought “Cloward Piven” would work in favor of conservatives.

When you overload already debt-ridden, dependent, ineffective and bureaucratic leftist governments with even more debt, what happens? They collapse.

Yes I think it is.

It all emanates from the Marxist idea that also aligns with its little brother: “never let a crisis go to waste”.

Essentially you invoke such a trauma to the population that they willingly give up all of their rights and all of their civil liberties to the All Good and Knowing Government - FOR THE GREATER GOOD.

Marxism is BASED on this Ideal.

Once the scare enough people by melting down America then they come in with their Government Plan for Everyone (AKA The Revolution to them)and they insert a Marxist form of life.

Yes its all the same thing.

I considered this, and proffered it a couple of weeks ago.

I'm happy to see it show up in FR

You are spot on with your assessment.

Ask yourself this as well. When was the last time our economy plummeted?

During Bushes last term. Bailouts happened, the safety net of the US economy came falling down and we were stuck with Odumbo for 8 years.

I do not believe in coincidences or the tooth fairy and unicorns. Could this be the "insurance policy" spoken about?

Key Democrats have been calling on Trump to “nationalize businesses”. Since that won’t do a damn thing to stop a disease, yeah, I think they have seized an opportunity to try this.

Not likely. The virus is real and if its introduction was intentional (I don’t think it was), it was done by the Chicoms.

Cloward and Piven was popularized by cheeto face screwy Glenn Beck.

I’ve always believed it is all planned but I was called a conspiracy nut

Yeah, I’ve thought about that, too. Our economy is getting wrecked. The dollar is going to be destabilized. We have been getting overrun for years but those with no loyalty to America (not to mention the entire demoKKKrat party leadership.)

I wonder how long it will be before those concerned about the “global pandemic” will be calling for a NWO to save the world.

Bingo! What did Pelosi know from Schiff (House Intel Committee) and when did she know it? And why did she hold the articles of impeachment so long? Before she agreed to impeachment maybe ...

Debt as money is going to (finally) collapse.

But there will be war over who gets screwed.

I'm not suggesting it is aimed solely at The U.S.

There are people who would love to usher in an all-powerful worldwide government. Think UN. Think Agenda 21.

Yes, but question is what arises in the aftermath. The goal and extremely high risk is that it is a centralized government. Remember, the entire thing will be cast as a failure of “capitalism”. And that is what we are seeing right now. Our mixed economy that is mostly crony capitalist is now cast as a failure of “capitalism”.

Almost the eternal battle between good and evil at play now. Certainly the forces of evil thrive on chaos (Soros et al).

Now that’s an interesting take. Getting their ducks in a row. She never did give an adequate answer, did she?
