The challenge with Cloward-Piven is that, in order for it to really work, you need a general collapse. EVERY city needs to go up, if not at the same time then certainly in quick succession. It’s the only way you really created the kind of crisis atmosphere that will have politicians across the ideological spectrum become willing to vote for revolutionary changes.
We’re not seeing that. What we’re seeing are cities going up in a more distributed onsie-twosie manner. So while there may be an immediate crisis in Baltimore, a distant past (for the American attention span) immediate crisis in Fergussom and ongoing but slow burning crises in Detroit and Chicago, most of the country could really care less. And leaders in those areas that do care (other urban areas) arent bought into Cloward-Piven and are paying attention mostly from a “how can we keep that from happening here?” standpoint.
To top it all off, we’re also seeing that the cadre of professional agitators isn’t big enough to focus on more than one urban area at a time. Fergusson looks pretty quiet right now. Charleston SC, where it’s believed that the cop coldly executed the fleeing suspect and then planted a weapon on him, is, and has been quiet.
You must have missed the black mob violence news out of Charleston recently.
Cloward & Piven laid out their strategy in 1966. Motor-voter was passed in the early 1990s.
Cloward-Piven has been unfolding all along over the decades, in various cities, with riots and ACORN-mob actions and ever-expanding federal entitlements.
