Have Obama and the Far Left adopted the Cloward-Piven Strategy?
Reckless spending, huge deficits, policies which will harm private sector economic growth and hiring seen to be intentional strategies of the Obama administration and the Far Left. This approach is consistent with, and may have been inspired by the Cloward-Piven strategy. After all, the first significant move to the far Left in the U.S. took place in the Great Depression under FDR. When people get economically desperate they no long care about the Constitution and fending off authoritarianism. They will vote for whomever offers the best deal with their vote buying. Hitler took advantage of the Depression with his socialist, nationalist and racist promises in the Party's 25 points (that's why it was called "National Socialism"). Hitler was no fan of capitalism. He tolerated and used Germany's capitalists. In terms of economics and public welfare, Nazism was closer to the left than the right. In some respects it is an error to classify Nazism as right wing. Perhaps a great socialist on a white horse will emerge if the Left's strategy works in this country.

Agreed on all accounts. Socialist thought has been around since our country's own founding. It later became popular to urban elitists and laborers in the industrialized age. They eventually got a worldwide foothold during the 1920s and 30s economic depression. Three particular examples being the Soviet socialists, Germany's NAZIs and America's social security. That's right. The United States was led down this same deceptive path by FDR's administration. Fortunately he was stopped short from going all out by our republic's constitutional separation of powers under federalism. Ah! Such road block must be destroyed by centralizing absolute bureaucratic control at the national level. Wilson's team began this exploitative effort through the 16th and 17th Amendments. FDR, LBJ and now Obama have used this power of the purse stage to successfully grab evermore domestic power from the states.
