What are the Democrats doing?

We just went through a weekend of protest against kings. The crwds claimed Mr Trump is a king.  But he was elected.  That is evidence he is not a king.  Royalty does not get elected, the same was Kamala Harris was not elected.

So what the left doing?  They are implementing a social change that will give them power without any responsibility. In essence they are making themselves kings.

The Cloward-Piven strategy is a political theory attributed to sociologists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, outlined in their 1966 article, "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty," published in The Nation. It proposes creating social change by overwhelming government systems to force reform. Below is an outline of the strategy based on their original work and subsequent interpretations:

Outline of the Cloward-Piven Strategy

1. Objective: Accelerate systemic change by overloading public welfare systems to expose their inadequacies and push for radical reforms, ideally toward a guaranteed income or socialist policies.
2. Core Mechanism:
   • Mass Enrollment in Welfare Programs: Encourage maximum participation in existing welfare programs to strain their capacity.
   • Crisis Creation: Overburden bureaucracies, causing administrative and financial crises that reveal systemic flaws.
   • Demand for Reform: Use the resulting chaos to advocate for fundamental changes, such as replacing welfare with a universal basic income or broader wealth redistribution.
3. Key Steps:
   • Mobilize the Poor: Organize communities to demand their full welfare entitlements, increasing pressure on local and federal systems.
   • Expose Inequities: Highlight inefficiencies and injustices in the welfare system through public campaigns and protests.
   • Escalate Demands: Push for structural changes when the system buckles, leveraging public discontent to advocate for sweeping policy overhauls.
4. Intended Outcome:
   • Collapse of the existing welfare framework due to unsustainable demands.
   • Replacement with a more equitable system, ideally a guaranteed annual income for all citizens, eliminating poverty.
5. Historical Context:
   • Developed during the 1960s War on Poverty, amid growing civil rights activism and dissatisfaction with welfare inefficiencies.
   • Influenced by Saul Alinsky’s community organizing tactics and the broader progressive push for social justice.
6. Criticisms and Interpretations:
   • Critics argue it’s a deliberate attempt to destabilize government and promote socialism, often exaggerating its intent as a conspiratorial plot.
   • Supporters view it as a legitimate strategy to force accountability and address systemic poverty.
   • Misrepresentations on platforms like X often frame it as a shadowy scheme to collapse capitalism, though the original article focused narrowly on welfare reform.

Notes

• The strategy was theoretical and specific to the U.S. welfare system in the 1960s. Cloward and Piven later clarified they did not advocate for economic collapse but for exposing systemic flaws.
• No evidence suggests a formal "plan" was ever implemented, though some attribute urban welfare crises (e.g., New York City’s 1970s fiscal issues) to its influence.
• Recent discussions on X and web sources often politicize the strategy, linking it to broader progressive or leftist agendas without direct evidence.
