On an episode of The Candace Owens Show that aired this past May, Owens had as her guest Dennis Prager. While I agreed with most of the points made by both Ms. Owens and Mr. Prager, one item struck me as an example of superficial analysis. They declared that the primary objective of the Left is "chaos." In an immediate sense, this seems true; the so-called "progressive left" does appear to be deliberately sowing chaos in America today.
However, I submit that the Left's "chaos" is an intermediate objective, the means to an end. They have a well defined endgame. The Communist Bloc countries were a lot of things, but they were generally not chaotic. They were highly regimented societies, and while they did not have the material standard of living or political freedoms enjoyed in the West, there were some agreeable aspects, as related by the wife of one Carlo Alcos in an online feature story on the Matador Network about her early childhood experiences growing up in East Germany:
It wasn't all trying, though. Everyone had a job, school lunches were free, after-school care was free, people were generally happy, necessities were extremely cheap, and there was more community spirit than there is nowadays. In those times, there were no Joneses to keep up with.
Rigidly communist East Germany hardly sounded like "chaos." So what is the progressive left's game in the Era of Trump?
First, at present, leftists want to create a state of political cultural chaos in the U.S. for a specific reason. They need chaos as a smokescreen to defend their current leaders that is to say, Obama, Hillary & Co. from prosecution. Make no mistake: Obama, Hillary, and their cohorts committed some serious crimes of an unprecedented nature

You read too many damn comicbooks. I bet you also hang out in lunatic survivalist sites.
Unlike you apparently, I recall that in 1995 Clinton was poised to lock us up in concentration camps scattered across the country. The lunatic survivalist sites published photos of “camps” with barbed wire, where the leftists had veg-o-matic guillotines that would chop off our heads by the thousands.
Cut the damn crap.
Funny . . . I didn't know those countries had "gay" and "trans rights!"
People can Vote themselves into Socialism.
Unfortunately, those same People have to shoot their way out of it.
Tagline...
Protecting the clintons and obamas is not the end game.
The end game is half a million people alive on the whole earth, none of them being a Jew or a Christian.
“You read too many damn comicbooks. I bet you also hang out in lunatic survivalist sites.”
You’re way out of line.
There’s nothing wrong with being a survivalist or suspicious of a Leftist government. Last century more people were murdered by their own Leftist government than by war. Fact. So when Leftists make a play on the US what sane person wouldn’t prepare to survive that? The kooks are the ones who listen to Leftist MSM, Leftist Hollywood and Leftist social media and think Leftism won’t negatively impact their lives. Sorry, but I’ll take the word of critical free-thinkers over deluded, Leftist fools every time.
Not only smaller but much older than they think. Check the age of Patriots here, closer to 80 than 40.
“Youre way out of line.”
Bull. For 20 years, you FR survivalist defeatists have been telling me that my weapons would taken away and I’d end up dead in a concentration camp.
I’m still standing, along with millions of my armed brothers and sisters.
Now run along and go read your comicbook.
Americans aint East Germans. Leftists will create chaos, one way or another.
Huh?
The 1934 Political Cartoon is 32 years Pre ClowardPiven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. Goes to show some things never change.
Note this is not the full text of the article, just what was needed to depick the contents of the 1934 cartoon. By Dr. Tom Barrett {September 30, 2013} @ conservativetruth.org/article.php? www.DrTom.TV http://conservativetruth.org/article.php?id=3715
It was drawn by Casey Orr, who was very popular with Chicago Tribune readers. Because the cartoon is still true today, Democrats hate it, and some have challenged its authenticity. I think the fact that the Chicago Tribune recently republished the cartoon speaks for itself. It is also posted on the Tribune website (see LINK below). The caption says "This is a 1934 Chicago Tribune political cartoon that many say rings true in today's political and economic climate.
The text is small in the cartoon posted on the website. I enlarged it so I could include its contents for you word for word in this piece. I didnt want you to miss one word of the truth and wit it contains.
The title of the cartoon is the same as the title of this article. Socialists and Liberals like those in power today always equate oppressive central government to a Planned Economy. But central planning as practiced by Communist governments always results in economic destruction. So why do the Liberals think that government control of the economy today will end differently? Remember, The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result this time.
Starting from the left of the cartoon we see a man in a mortarboard and gown flogging the donkey that is pulling the wagon. His tag reads, Tugwell Head Brain Truster. Rex Tugwell, a very Liberal academician, was the head of FDRs so-called Brain Trust. This group was full of college professors and politicians who had zero experience in business. They were supposed to come up with new ideas to kick-start the American economy following the Great Depression. The Brain Trust was a miserable failure.
Next we see two young men in graduation caps and gowns holding a liquor bottle labeled Power and shouting Whoopee! The sign tacked to the wagon immediately below them identifies them as Young pinkies from Columbia & Harvard. Many young men like this were recruited to staff New Deal Liberal programs.. Obviously all graduates of Ivy League universities are not pinkies (a word from that era that meant Pinkos or Communists). But most of them are very Liberal, and many of them who go into government get drunk on the power of their positions.
The tail gate of the wagon has this sign: Depleting the resources of the soundest government in the world. Three key Socialists are shown doing the depleting.
The three politicians shoveling money out of the back of the wagon are close advisors of arguably the worst president that has ever been inflicted on the United States Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR). Unfortunately our current president thinks FDR was some kind of deity, and follows closely in his Socialist footsteps.
The first shoveler is Harold L. Ickes, FDRs Secretary of the Interior and the Director of the Public Works Administration (PWA). In this position he decided which public works projects would be initiated and where they would be built. He never met a Socialist program he didnt like. The biggest of the PWA projects was the Tennessee Valley Authority. Ickes used his power to pay off political donors to FDR by giving them lucrative contracts. Interestingly, Harold L. Ickes was the father of Harold M. Ickes, a key advisor to Bill Clinton. Ickes the younger graduated from Columbia!
The man with the biggest shovel is Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace, who was well-known for his associations with avowed Socialists. My readers are well aware of the treason that FDR committed when he took 539 Metric Tons of Gold from private citizens during his Gold confiscation that began on April 5, 1933. But few are aware that Wallaces Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933 greatly increased the powers of the Federal Reserve to both control the economy and to massively increase the National Debt. It also set the stage for FDRs Executive Order 6102 which stole 40% of the wealth of Americans, and provided for 10 year prison sentences for those who refused to turn their Gold into the government.
The third man who can be seen throwing bags of money off the back of the wagon is Donald Richberg. Richberg had tremendous power in the Roosevelt administration. He was known as the Assistant President, who had more power than the elected Vice-President. Both Richberg and Ickes were products of the sewer of American politics, Chicago. (Yes, even back then Chicago was training and producing corrupt politicians, as it does today.)
Richberg and Ickes were leaders of the Progressive movement, another name for Liberalism. They were also important figures in the National Industrial Recovery Act, which imposed fascist codes of conduct on American industry. This Progressive act dictated how important US industries would to be run. Fortunately the National Recovery Administration was ultimately struck down by the US Supreme Court in 1935. This humiliated FDR and led to his campaign to pack the Supreme Court with more Liberal Justices.
You might miss the figure of Stalin off to the right were it not pointed out to you. He is depicted saying, How red the sunrise is getting, an obvious allusion to the fact that under FDR America is getting more and more red, the color of Communism. FDR was actually very close to Stalin.
At the bottom left there is an artist, whom I {Dr. Tom Barrett} believe is Leon Trotsky, drawing a Plan of action for the United States. He is seen saying, It worked in Russia! This fits, because Stalin expelled Trotsky from the Soviet Union because he was more interested in spreading Communism throughout the world than consolidating the ideology in the USSR. So it makes sense that Trotsky would want to spread the poison to the US.
Trotskys plan reads, Spend! Spend! Spend! Under the guise of recovery bust the government. Blame the capitalists for the failure junk the Constitution and declare a dictatorship.

Specifically, the aim of deliberately overloading the system so it collapses is Cloward-Piven.
You gotta break some of your own eggs to make an omelette.
Hitler did it, so did Stalin and Mao.
Power consolidation, as you stated.
The useful idiots for chaos duty are temp hires with a dead ending in their future.
Thank you!
I've been explaining that in detail to Freepers for the last decade!
The Left promotes chaos in society while staying very regimented within it’s own ranks...
Communism is a path to riches for despots and their apparatchiks.
Everyone else is given chump change, backed up by threats of violence against any dissidence.
The mere presence of an endgame implies they are capable of precognition and precise planning.
Any intelligent person can see where it is intended to go, but hopefully, the American spirit will kick in at some point and impose some roadblocks they don't foresee.
Reality has a way of slapping you upside the head when you least expect it.
