Cloward–Piven Strategy redux?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloward–Piven_strategy

Perhaps you have recently heard or seen the term “Cloward–Piven Strategy.” I vaguely remember the concept  from an academic perspective as a History and Sociology major in the early 1970s. In essence the Cloward–Piven strategy was  developed in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. Cloward and Piven hypothesized that drastic political change  within the United States would lead to societal collapse through a series of orchestrated crises.  

Per Cloward and Piven, utilizing this strategy a group of individuals or political party could  weaken or cause the fall of capitalism by overloading the existing government bureaucracy with increasing  domestic fiscal obligations. Such actions as amassing massive unpayable national debt, government entitlement programs, monetary inflation, and uncontrolled immigration could push American society into crisis and ultimately economic collapse. 

One need only look back at LBJ’s “Great Society” to see the onset and perpetuation of massive welfare programs that have trapped subsequent generations into a life of subservience and reliance on the Federal government. There is now the expectation  that future generations of poor Americans can rely on the Federal Government for their daily subsistence. This was again reinforced during the COVID-19 Pandemic when many Americans who were capable of working opted not to work in order to receive payments that often exceeded their pre COVID income, Sad but true.Although I have never been by nature a conspiracy theorist, what is happening in America today either by design or by intent  certainly reflects many tenants of the Cloward–Piven Strategy. Our national debt remains at an all-time high and continues to increase exponentially; illegal immigrants or “newcomers” as the Administration prefers to call them flood daily across our southern border, and massive student loan debt is forgiven at the stroke of a pen , etc., etc. Spending for Federal and State Entitlement programs continue to spiral out of control with no end in sight and yet we continue to print more money causing inflation and devaluation of the dollar which was once the world’s benchmark currency.

Is what we are witnessing in American ultimately leading to the societal collapse that Cloward and Piven hypothesized ? All of the symptoms appear to be before our very eyes,  and I fear we are rapidly reaching the point of no return where the very America many of us cherished will be no more – merely a civilization that has reached greatness and is now spiraling into the abyss, Sad but perhaps true.

As Ronald Reagan stated “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” Before it is too late let’s not Reagan’s words be prophesies of what is taking place before our very eyes.
