Cloward-Pevin, we’re two Columbia University sociologists, members of the Democratic Socialists of America.
Their strategy was intended to collapse capitalism by overloading the government and push the nation into collapse. This strategy was first published in an article, “The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty”, Nation magazine, 1966.
To their mind welfare was a standard operating procedure to keep the poor people down, so the solution was to overwhelm the system, break it, collapse it, and the people would revolt.
Their strategy was “a massive drive to recruit the poor onto the welfare roles.” It would break the government, and result in ways to “redistribute income.” They initially focused on New York City, and were wildly successful. As a result of this New York City was forced to declare bankruptcy in 1975.
Now this is what President Obama did for the Food Stamp Program, the federal government spent millions to get people onto the rolls, and now he’s doing it at the border, to break our immigration system. Saul Alinsky is loving it.
All of this is online, just google it. The American people have got to wake up, open their eyes, read, learn, inform themselves, become active and vote.
