Cloward and Biden: The Left's Strategy for Forcing Political Change through Orchestrated Crisis

by Rob

“Never let a good crisis go to waste.”

Rahm Emanuel

First proposed in 1966 by Columbia University socialists, I mean sociologists Richard Cloward and his wife, Francis Piven, proposed a strategy to hasten the end of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.

Liberal organizations of late have tried to obscure this fact by claiming the only goal was the reduction of poverty by establishing a guaranteed income still let the cat out of the bag. From Wikipedia:

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.

Redistribution of income, taking from one and giving it to another. As Joe the Plumber said, it sounds like Socialism to me. Well it is. Cloward and Piven were longtime members of the Democratic Socialists of America, where today he has a honorary chair.

Well now its 2020. Has anything changed? Well, here is the presumed Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden's proposal during our current pandemic.

Joe Biden proposes expanding Medicare eligibility and student debt relief

Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, proposed expanding government ... at this critical moment in responding to the coronavirus crisis,” Biden said in a Medium post.

Biden says coronavirus panic “a wake-up call to action to climate change”

I think we have an opportunity now to significantly change the mindset of the American people, Biden said — …

Biden backs mail vote, says Trump's opposition 'un-American'

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is calling on Congress to provide enough money for every state to allow …

And while Joe takes advantage of the crisis to push his society changing measures, the liberal media proved its double standards by ignoring CNN's own evidence on Biden's rape accuser. Anyone who is critical of the media has noticed this for a while now. But what most do not notice is the progressive/liberal pattern to intentionally degrade, or allow to degrade institutions and thus society itself so it has the opportunity to re-make it as the left desires. Or, to put it another way, the progressive left is willing to hurt you and things you care about to push their own agenda. And the easiest way to push an unpopular agenda is through a crisis.

I am wrong, you say? Progressives do not want to weaken institutions. Fine, please explain to me this:

How does open borders make us less likely to have pandemics?

How does illegal immigration increase the wages of the poor and urban communities?

How does celebrating the destruction of the nuclear family by experimenting with new forms of family and gender strengthen the family structure? For example, how does having a baby out of wedlock help the baby?

How does freeing criminals and decriminalizing destructive behavior make us more safe?

How does pushing social justice and weakening traditional academic coursework on our campuses help us become more competitive in the world market?

How does censoring news and attempting to silence/sometimes criminalize opposing viewpoints do anything but create an echo chamber where real free speech does not exist nor or any ideas scrutinized and judged by their merit?

It does not. None of this does. And the left knows it. And no, I am not saying the left created the corona virus. You don't have to create a crisis to take take advantage of it. The point is to take advantage of a crisis and even prolong it or make it worse so liberals/progressives are able to remake society to their liking. That is the Cloward-Pven strategy. Anyone hurt is just collateral damage.

Again, the goal is to intentionally degrade, or allow to degrade institutions and thus society itself so the left will have an opportunity to re-make it as the left desires. I'll say it again. The progressive left is willing to hurt you and things you care about to push their own agenda.. Nothing has changed from Cloward to Biden. This, was, and remains, their real goal, at your expense. Feel free to keep on trusting them with this country. I am sure it will end well.
