Cloward-Piven from Grok 

The Cloward-Piven strategy is a political theory developed in 1966 by American sociologists and activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. It was introduced in an article titled "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty," published in The Nation magazine. The strategy proposes a method to address poverty by deliberately overwhelming the U.S. welfare system with a massive influx of applications for benefits. The idea was that this overload would create a crisis, exposing the system's inadequacies and forcing the federal government to enact sweeping reforms, ideally replacing the existing welfare structure with a guaranteed minimum income for all.

The core concept involves mobilizing eligible individuals—particularly the poor—to claim welfare benefits en masse, pushing the system beyond its capacity to function effectively. Cloward and Piven believed this disruption would pressure the government, specifically the Democratic Party (which controlled Congress and the presidency in 1966), to redistribute income more equitably through federal intervention. They argued that the existing welfare system was insufficient and that only a radical restructuring could eradicate poverty.

The strategy has been both praised and criticized. Supporters see it as a bold approach to highlight systemic flaws and advocate for economic justice. Critics, however, argue it promotes chaos and could destabilize society, with some suggesting it has been misused to undermine capitalism or governance altogether. Over time, it has become a topic of debate, with some linking it to historical events like the expansion of welfare rolls in the late 1960s and others viewing it as a theoretical framework rather than a fully realized plan.
