Step 1) Create a large number of Americans who expect to be cared for by the government. They are entitled. They deserve "stuff" that others will pay for.

Step 2) Design government programs to be unsustainable. Make government groan under the weight of unfunded mandates. Make the system collapse because it cannot maintain its commitments to the Entitled folks.

Step 3) Await the Proletariat revolution as the angry poor people forcibly overturn all American traditions and create a bold new society and usher in a Utopian Age.

I can’t explain this but everytime I see ‘Cloward-Piven’ I have a vision of a weird looking claw and I think of it as being satanic in some way. Strange thoughts.

Also known as deconstructionalism = Antonio Gramsci

Cloward-Piven (Frances taught at my department in grad school) and Alinsky were plagiarists who stole a lot from Gramsci without attribution..
