I’ve known of Rules for Radicals for a long time, especially this rule: Name-call, denigrate, insult. Ignore the issue, the facts, logic. Instead hammer away with a personal attack, a vicious smear campaign.
I didn’t know of the Cloward-Piven strategy until a friend mentioned it and I did a search. Brilliant strategy - if you want to destroy this society.
I knew: The issue is never the issue. The issue is always revolution.
But how to get there? Enter Cloward and Piven.
In a nutshell: the “solution” is not meant to solve the problem. It’s to be as costly as possible in order to drain resources from the state, preferably until the state breaks down. And then, presto, revolution!

More than that, it’s good to know this stuff.
Then, what do we do?
Solution One: we get together. We are, deep down, the vast majority. According to Political Ponerology, 94%. So together it’s our world:
And that’s enough of an introduction to a lose-lose strategy - the poor lose, everyone else in the society loses. Only the revolution wins. Destruction.
