Cloward & Piven were Columbia University sociologists that proposed the idea that a Socialist Revolution could be triggered in the US via mass immigration and profligate overspending on social welfare programs. Communist activists LOVED this idea and the strategy became known as the “Cloward-Piven Strategy”. Their idea was proposed in the 1960s, published in “The Nation” magazine (hence our bad pun in the title of this infogrenade ;-). That article is archived here on this site.
A longer explanation of Cloward-Piven is beneath the collage.
Note: Cloward & Piven were standing behind Clinton when he signed “Motor Voter” into law. In recent years, “Motor Voter” has often been the stated reason so many illegal aliens were “accidentally” added to State Voter Rolls … hmmmm 🤔

Here is a more detailed explanation of Cloward-Piven excerpted from here:
First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and his wife Frances Fox Piven (both longtime members of the Democratic Socialists of America, where Piven today is an honorary chair), the “Cloward-Piven Strategy” seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.
Inspired by the August 1965 riots in the black district of Watts in Los Angeles (which erupted after police had used batons to subdue a black man suspected of drunk driving), Cloward and Piven published an article titled “The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty” in the May 2, 1966 issue of The Nation. Following its publication, The Nation sold an unprecedented 30,000 reprints. Activists were abuzz over the so-called “crisis strategy” or “Cloward-Piven Strategy,” as it came to be called. Many were eager to put it into effect.
