Cloward-Piven Strategy  

The #Cloward-Piven Strategy is another Lunatic Fringe operation that has an awful defect; it is working. You have never heard of it? Neither had I until very recently. The Mainstream Media make a lot of fuss about things they do not like but others they want get blacked out. Recall the conspiracy to conceal the truth, the Deafening Silence that accompanied wholesale Rape by Pakistani Perverts in Rotherham. It has been going on since 1993 if not earlier. This particular attack on decent government has been gestating since 1966.

The Irish Savant is different to me; he has heard all about it; he does not like it one bit. Why would that be? Go to #Cloward - Piven Strategy. Read for yourself. Think for yourself. Decide for yourself. Or look at what the Rational Wiki has to tell us at Cloward-Piven strategy. Take the point that #Richard Cloward and his wife, #Frances Piven were teachers at Columbia University, the mob that nurtured the Weather Underground, a bunch of murderous Marxist criminals. In fact the wife, #Frances Piven is a Marxist Jew just like Trotsky and other enthusiastic mass murderers.

You might compare the Savant's view with the #Cloward-Piven Strategy ex Wiki; it is different. The Wiki makes it sound fairly inoffensive, misguided perhaps although well meant. But then the Wikipedia is another Propaganda machine, just like the rest of the Media.

Cloward - Piven Strategy ex Irish Savant          
Anyone else notice the Cloward-Piven strategy popping up with increasing frequency? I certainly have and I'm not sure what it signifies. Briefly the C-P strategy was one developed by two Marxist sociologists (are there any other kind?) in the sixties with the aim of 'bringing down the system'. This would be achieved primarily by overloading the welfare system until the Government could no longer make the payments. This would be followed by turmoil in the streets as the welfare parasites rioted, at which point a well-prepared cadre of left-wing extremists would seize power and implement a Communist dictatorship. “Cadres of aggressive organizers . . . from the civil rights movement and the churches, from militant low-income organizations like those formed by Saul Alinksy and other groups on the Left”. The authors whisper that the objective is 'to end poverty once and for all' but like all left-wing ideologues they couldn't care less about ordinary people. They love The People but hate people. 

I imagine that the plan received a cool reception when first published. I mean it wouldn't have seemed very practical, would it? But considering what's happened in the meantime it seems like an inspirational blueprint. Bear in mind that the strategy gelled elegantly with the rest of the Cultural Marxist nation-wrecking agenda (and is in many ways a derivative of the (problem / reaction / solution) Hegelian Dialectic). This includes mass immigration of Third World parasites, the undermining of the family with a consequent increase in welfare dependency, the fostering of a grievance / entitlement culture, the fanning of racial resentment, weakening personal accountability and the traditional sense of duty etc. 

C-P identify many supporting initiatives to enable their strategy such as getting governments to become heavily involved in charities, either by financially supporting established charities and/or taking on the roles formerly performed by religious institutions, undermining faith in traditional institutions like law enforcement by, inter alia, sharply tilting the system in favour of defendants and to foster the belief that government deficits don't matter.

 If you consider all that's gone down in the intervening time their strategy reads less like a theoretical fantasy and more like a blueprint for our NWO globalist overlords to destroy White nations. As Henry Ford said about The Protocols of the Elders of Zion 'I'm making no comment on them. I just ask you to look at what's been written and what has come to pass in the interim'. The plan seems close to fruition. Now all that's needed is the spark to ignite End Game. How long more can governments, especially that of the USA, continue to spend more than they earn? How long more will native Whites put up with the abusive behaviour and parasitism of our minorities?

I don't know. But we should read all of this in the light of the American Government's frantic attempts to disarm its White citizens - and that's what 'gun control' all about - while arming their own forces to the teeth. Many people have a sense that something is going terribly wrong with their societies but are unable to connect the dots. 

That's our job.  

 

Cloward-Piven Strategy ex Wiki        
The Cloward–Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven that called for overloading the U.S. public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis that would lead to a replacement of the welfare system with "a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty".^[1]

History
Cloward and Piven were both professors at the Columbia University School of Social Work. The strategy was outlined in a May 1966 article in the liberal magazine The Nation titled "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty".^[1]

The two stated that many Americans who were eligible for welfare were not receiving benefits, and that a welfare enrollment drive would strain local budgets, precipitating a crisis at the state and local levels that would be a wake-up call for the federal government, particularly the Democratic Party. There would also be side consequences of this strategy, according to Cloward and Piven. These would include: easing the plight of the poor in the short-term (through their participation in the welfare system); shoring up support for the national Democratic Party-then splintered by pluralistic interests (through its cultivation of poor and minority constituencies by implementing a national "solution" to poverty); and relieving local governments of the financially and politically onerous burdens of public welfare (through a national "solution" to poverty).^[1]

Strategy
Cloward and Piven's article is focused on forcing the Democratic Party, which in 1966 controlled the presidency and both houses of the United States Congress, to take federal action to help the poor. They stated that full enrollment of those eligible for welfare "would produce bureaucratic disruption in welfare agencies and fiscal disruption in local and state governments" that would: "...deepen existing divisions among elements in the big-city Democratic coalition: the remaining white middle class, the working-class ethnic groups and the growing minority poor. To avoid a further weakening of that historic coalition, a national Democratic administration would be constrained to advance a federal solution to poverty that would override local welfare failures, local class and racial conflicts and local revenue dilemmas."^[2]

They further wrote:

“

The ultimate objective of this strategy—to wipe out poverty by establishing a guaranteed annual income—will be questioned by some. Because the ideal of individual social and economic mobility has deep roots, even activists seem reluctant to call for national programs to eliminate poverty by the outright redistribution of income.[2]

”

Michael Reisch and Janice Andrews wrote that Cloward and Piven "proposed to create a crisis in the current welfare system – by exploiting the gap between welfare law and practice – that would ultimately bring about its collapse and replace it with a system of guaranteed annual income. They hoped to accomplish this end by informing the poor of their rights to welfare assistance, encouraging them to apply for benefits and, in effect, overloading an already overburdened bureaucracy."^[3]

Focus on Democrats
The authors pinned their hopes on creating disruption within the Democratic Party:

"Conservative Republicans are always ready to declaim the evils of public welfare, and they would probably be the first to raise a hue and cry. But deeper and politically more telling conflicts would take place within the Democratic coalition...Whites – both working class ethnic groups and many in the middle class – would be aroused against the ghetto poor, while liberal groups, which until recently have been comforted by the notion that the poor are few... would probably support the movement. Group conflict, spelling political crisis for the local party apparatus, would thus become acute as welfare rolls mounted and the strains on local budgets became more severe.”^[4]

Reception and criticism
Michael Tomasky, writing about the strategy in the 1990s and again in 2011, called it "wrongheaded and self-defeating", writing: "It apparently didn't occur to [Cloward and Piven] that the system would just regard rabble-rousing black people as a phenomenon to be ignored or quashed."^[5]

Impact of the strategy
In papers published in 1971 and 1977^[6], Cloward and Piven argued that mass unrest in the United States, especially between 1964 and 1969, did lead to a massive expansion of welfare rolls, though not to the guaranteed-income program that they had hoped for.^[7] Political scientist Robert Albritton disagreed, writing in 1979 that the data did not support this thesis; he offered an alternative explanation for the rise in welfare caseloads.

In his 2006 book Winning the Race, political commentator John McWhorter attributed the rise in the welfare state after the 1960s to the Cloward–Piven strategy, but wrote about it negatively, stating that the strategy "created generations of black people for whom working for a living is an abstraction".^[8]

According to historian Robert E. Weir in 2007: "Although the strategy helped to boost recipient numbers between 1966 and 1975, the revolution its proponents envisioned never transpired."^[9]

 

Richard Cloward ex Wiki       
Richard Andrew Cloward (December 25, 1926 – August 20, 2001) was an American sociologist and an activist. He influenced the Strain theory of criminal behavior and the concept of anomie, and was a primary motivator for the passage of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 known as "Motor Voter". He taught at Columbia University for 47 years.

Cloward was born in Rochester, New York, the son of Esther Marie (Fleming), an artist and women's rights activist, and Donald Cloward, a radical Baptist minister.^[3][4] Cloward served as an ensign in the United States Navy from 1944 to 1946. He received a bachelor's degree from the University of Rochester in 1949, and then a master's degree from the Columbia University School of Social Work in 1950. He then served as a first lieutenant in the U.S. Army from 1951 to 1954, and later worked as a social worker in an army prison in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. Cloward became an assistant professor at Columbia's School of Social Work in 1954, and had visiting posts at the Hebrew University, the University of Amsterdam, the University of California, Santa Barbara and Arizona State University. He received a doctorate in sociology from Columbia University in 1958.

Together with fellow sociologist Lloyd Ohlin, Cloward wrote Delinquency and Opportunity: A Theory of Delinquent Gangs, which rejected the prevailing premise that delinquency resulted from individual irresponsibility and argued it was caused by poverty and the lack of alternative opportunities caused by poverty, and that the conditions underlying delinquency could be resolved through social programs.^[5]

In 1966, Cloward co-founded the National Welfare Rights Organization, which advocated federalizing Aid to Families with Dependent Children by building local welfare rolls. In 1982, he and his wife Frances Fox Piven founded "Human SERVE" (Service Employees Registration and Voter Education), which established motor-voter programs in selected states as precedents for the Motor Voter Act enacted in 1993.

Also in 1966, he and Piven published a paper in the May issue of The Nation magazine — "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty",^[6] which advocated wiping out poverty by increasing demands on the federal government, leading to implementation of a guaranteed minimum income. His detractors called this the "Cloward-Piven Strategy".

 

Frances Fox Piven ex Wiki     
Frances Fox Piven (born October 10, 1932)^[1] is an American professor of political science and sociology at The Graduate Center, City University of New York, where she has taught since 1982.^[2]

Piven is known equally for her contributions to social theory and for her social activism. A veteran of the war on poverty and subsequent welfare-rights protests both in New York City and on the national stage, she has been instrumental in formulating the theoretical underpinnings of those movements. Over the course of her career, she has served on the boards of the ACLU and the Democratic Socialists of America, and has also held offices in several professional associations, including the American Political Science Association and the Society for the Study of Social Problems.^[3] Previously, she had been a member of the political science faculty at Boston University.

 

This 86-Year-Old Radical May Save (or Sink) the Democrats  
Ms. Piven was born in Canada in 1932 and grew up in Jackson Heights, Queens. Her parents both emigrated from Uzlyany, a shtetl near Minsk. It’s a background shared by other great polemicists of the 20th century. The sociologist Nathan Glazer, the historian Howard Zinn, and the writer Vivian Gornick also were born between 1920 and 1935 to Jewish immigrant parents from Eastern Europe and grew up in outer-borough New York. The same goes for the socialist critic Irving Howe, whose father, like Ms. Piven’s, struggled to run a deli.

Irving Howe, 72, Critic, Editor and Socialist, Dies

Irving Howe, the literary critic and founding editor of Dissent magazine, who spent a lifetime advancing the cause of humane, democratic socialism, died early yesterday morning at Mount Sinai Hospital. He was 72. The cause was cardiovascular disease, the hospital said. Mr. Howe had collapsed at his home in Manhattan.

 

The "intellectual guru of activist progressives", Frances Fox Piven, was born to Russian Jewish parents. Her husband was Richard Cloward.

New York Times, 10 May 2019

Frances Fox Piven has become the intellectual guru of activist progressives.

With the rise of a youthful radical left, her admirers are growing in influence for the first time since Ms. Piven entered politics in the 1960s.

Ms. Piven was born in Canada in 1932 and grew up in Jackson Heights, Queens. Her parents both emigrated from Uzlyany, a shtetl near Minsk.

It’s a background shared by other great polemicists of the 20th century. The sociologist Nathan Glazer, the historian Howard Zinn, and the writer Vivian Gornick also were born between 1920 and 1935 to Jewish immigrant parents from Eastern Europe and grew up in outer-borough New York. The same goes for the socialist critic Irving Howe, whose father, like Ms. Piven’s, struggled to run a deli.

Ms. Piven and her husband and collaborator, Richard Cloward, who died in 2001...

John McWhorter, a writer and linguist, for example, argued that Ms. Piven and Mr. Cloward’s work on welfare rights led African-Americans to become dependent on welfare.

Re-examining the Jewish contributions to progressive reform

Jews were among leaders and rank-and-file activists in all the great movements — labor, civil rights and civil liberties, feminism, environmentalism, gay rights and the crusade against militarism.

Jewish social activism helped spearhead the early civil rights movement as well. In 1909, Joel Spingarn was a founder and then long-term president of the NAACP [National Association for the Advancement of Colored People].

When it came to modern feminism, Betty Friedan, Bella Abzug, Gloria Steinem and Andrea Dworkin were at the forefront. Likewise with gay rights, where San Francisco activist Harvey Milk, poet Alan Ginsberg, scientist Frank Kameny and writer Larry Kramer helped catalyze the movement in the 1970s, a tradition continued today by playwright Tony Kushner.

Social critics Paul Goodman, Howard Zinn, FRANCIS FOX PIVEN and Jonathan Kozol — gave voice to movements of dissent.
