"The Cloward-Piven Strategy, originating from a 1966 article by sociologists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, proposes that the best way to achieve a revolutionary change in society is to overload the existing welfare system to the point of crisis. By creating a scenario where public assistance systems become so overburdened that they collapse, the strategy aims to force the government to implement new, more "equitable" systems of wealth redistribution. This strategy represents a form of ideological possession where the pursuit of ostensibly virtuous goals, like social equity and social justice, masks a deeper, malevolent agenda. This article examines potential future scenarios if the Cloward-Piven Strategy is successful using an interdisciplinary security approach.
Economists argue that markets function best when individuals are free to make choices that reflect their preferences and incentives. The Cloward-Piven Strategy's deliberate overburdening of welfare systems would disrupt these market dynamics, leading to severe economic consequences.
Virtue signalling plays a critical role in this process. Advocates of the Cloward-Piven Strategy often cloak their intentions in moral righteousness, portraying their actions as compassionate efforts to aid the disadvantaged. This veneer of virtue serves to deflect criticism and garner support, even as their methods inflict harm on the very populations they claim to champion. The real danger lies in the strategy's manipulation of good intentions to justify coercive and destructive policies, ultimately eroding individual responsibility and freedom. ------ Unfortunately, having read several "manifestos" associated with labor policy makers, CLP policy makers, and their associated radical extremist groups, it is clear that their main goal is to sow discord and division rather than promote unity and cooperation. A nation divided seldom recognises corruption."
But isn't the whole idea BS though? If you look at socialist takeovers like France and Russia you notice the revolutionary element driving societal change was the (suicidal) middle class, the bourgeoisie.
That implies you first have to have a somewhat wealthy society for attempting wealth redistribution to begin with.
Now the modern US has basically declared war on the middle class. Who is going to be left to usher in the revolution? The billionaires?
I guess anything is possible... But not all billionaires are delusional though. Some of them must realize that in a world of radical wealth redistribution their wealth is much less safe than it is now.
Not validating his argument but the entire point is to literally destroy the sovereignty and power of each nation state to usher in the New World Order. The western world was to completely die in this process reducing humanity to a giant third world plantation where no one could resist or rise up. A global technocratic dystopian hell where they would systematically cull the masses and permanently enslave the rest.
