CLOWARD-PIVEN STRATEGY FOLLOWED IN QUEST FOR MARXIST REVOLUTION
Washington, DC – Communist Barney Frank and other prominent members of the Democrat Party continued their strategy of induced bankruptcy by calling for increased government spending under pretense of ’saving’ the auto industry.
The strategy, an aspect of the Cloward-Piven tactic, calls for putting such a financial strain on the government’s balance sheet that the government collapses. The authors of the strategy reasoned that this national bankruptcy could be stoked to produce civil unrest, under which a drastic socialization of the country could be implemented.
Frank’s actions were but one aspect of this multifaceted strategy, as he used the guise of saving the auto economy to spend yet more taxpayer dollars, pushing the country closer to hyperinflation and higher debt obligations.
In a somewhat hysterical and overblown diatribe that bordered on melodramatic, Frank threatened the nation with an “unmitigated disaster” if the Communist plan was not accepted. He simultaneously continued to repeat the Communist talking point that the nation was in “the worst economic situation since the Great Depression”.
Financial experts denounced the divisive rhetoric and chided Frank for his irresponsible and fearmongering remarks.
“Clearly this initiative won’t help the economy at all,” one financial analyst shared privately. “Frank is attempting to do two things here; divert tax dollars to his Communist allies in the auto union sector and further the Cloward-Piven strategy of induced bankruptcy.
The Cloward-Piven strategy of Induced Bankruptcy, or IB, was the brainchild of Communists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Piven, first proposed in the late 1960’s. It theorized that capitalism could be destroyed by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pusing the society into crisis and economic collapse. In the mayhem of riots and unrest, the communists hoped to capitalize on the opportunity by introducing radical socialist reforms into the nation’s economic system.
Keen legislators on Capitol Hill vowed to quell the Communist ambitions, however. “We’re very aware of what they’re doing, and we’re not going to let it happen”, one congressman confided on condition of anonymity. “They brought down New York in 1975 and revealed their despicable actions for the world to see.”
The U.S. has been experiencing mild economic turbulence, with rising unemployment figures and low G.D.P growth. Critics charge that the communists have been attempting to exploit the opportunity to call for extreme socialist measures, such as income redistribution and industrial nationalization, central tenets of the socialist/communist doctrine.
“In many ways, this ‘crisis’ was caused by the Communists, and now they are trying to follow through by completely destroying the American economy,” a hedge fund manager said on Friday. “If it weren’t for their frontgroup’s(ACORN) extreme harassment of legislators, and the near-criminal legislation passed in ‘95(CRA), we wouldn’t be where we are today.”
American citizens have maintained calm throughout the bumpy economic ride. Although holiday retail sales were down slightly, there was still a fair amount of economic activity, with goods and service industries bustling. Companies with untenable positions, like the auto and several insurance sectors, have been desperately asking for federal loans to rescue what some experts have termed gross mismanagement and unsustainable business practices.
“The communists in the unions drove up the wages, and now the auto companies can’t compete anymore,” one insider warned. “They have to spend on average $2000 more just to remain competitive with companies like Honda, Toyota and Nissan. It’s just unreal.”
