The Cloward-Piven Strategy is a political plan outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven.

The strategy aims to overload the US welfare system, adding so many people to the entitlement rolls that it will destroy the country's economic system, creating chaos and violence in the streets.

The strategy began with orchestrating a crisis in the welfare system to push it to failure and rebuild it with their socialist agenda of guaranteed income.

They used militant groups to make demands for "entitled" monies, and NYC went from about 150,000 to 1.5 million on the welfare rolls between 1960 and 1970 and was bankrupt by 1975.

The strategy envisions overwhelming the US public welfare system and replacing it with a nationalized system run completely by the federal government, that would ensure "a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty."

Radical implementation involves pushing for substantial change while learning what the powerful will concede.
