Cloward-Piven tactics and deceptively sophisticatedly-named Critical Theory (i.e., the craven and sociopathic and anti-democratic “theory” that being overwhelmingly and, if necessary, entirely unfairly critical toward any given thing one dislikes can, over time at least, be sufficient to force a change in that thing or away from that thing) are two of the most brutally stupid but surprisingly successful (read:destructive) products of evil minds among U.S. “academics” during the past 75 years. Anyone associated with the Frankfurt School should have been shunned outright by self-respecting colleagues but were instead lionized. This country can barely wipe its own rear end anymore when considered from an academic standpoint.
I have read and heard about Cloward & Piven which means my knowledge is second hand. It seems they think the way to destroy freedom is to push entitlements to the point of collapse and then good riddance individual sovereignty. Apparently many people will fall for such simplistic ploys.
Certainly with the U.S. debt over $30 trillion and the 'rats intending to push it much higher, C & P may be right. I doubt the dollar can survive much longer and our countless enemies are poised to take advantage of that circumstance. This sop of a play pretty, a $1,400 'stimulus' check, seems to prove the point. We have mortgaged our great great grandchildren's chance at anything other than subservient poverty - a travesty.
The smug arrogance of those like C & P grinds my gears but they are apparently prophets for the pedestrian. 😬
Thanks for your thoughts.
