How Wokes Are Deploying Cloward-Piven Strategy To Create Anarchy
Last Updated: After sowing the seeds of anarchy and chaos in the developed West, the wokes are now moving towards democracies like India and other countries of the global South. The United States might win some of the tariff battles but it is all set to lose the larger economic war because of the complete surrender of the American corporations to the leftist-woke ideology. These are the lessons that every democracy needs to learn including India. New York Post journalist Charles Gasparino talked about this 'noxious ideology of progressive politics in the boardroom" in his 2024 book Go Woke, Go Broke: The Inside story of Corporate Radicalization in America. This is an ideology, he says, that 'needs to die a thousand deaths." 'The left-wing forces have assembled to transform Corporate America into something resembling the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. The left might hate capitalism but it has been busy implementing capitalist tools to bend big business at will," adds Gasparino. Abhijit Joag has dwelt on this issue in detail in his seminal work, Termites: How the Left is Destroying the World through Subversion, exposing how wokes are globally coordinating to destroy the corporate economy in the democratic world. And whatever tariff wars a country may win or lose, all the gains will be ultimately swept away. According to Joag (pp. 230), in the name of social justice, neo-Marxists are conducting audits of company boards to find out whether adequate representation has been given to 'protected groups' like Blacks, Minorities and the LGBTQ, and are pressurising corporates to increase this representation. Behind this seemingly noble cause, the Left wants to promote identity conflict within the corporate sector and subvert it from within. 'Woke consultants conduct Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Audit of corporates and rank them on 'social conduct'. Legal suits are filed against those with poor ranks. This way wokeism has monopolised the right to distribute character certificates to corporates and publish those who do not fall in line.' Cloward-Piven Strategy Joag interestingly goes back to the 1960s and helps us recall the Cloward-Piven Strategy which is in full display now not only in the US but is being replicated in most of the liberal democracies and civilisational states including India. A neo-Marxist couple, Francis Pox Piven, a Professor in Political Science and Sociology at the Graduate Centre of the City University of New York, and her husband Richard Cloward, published a paper on May 2, 1966 that detailed out a strategy to engineer a huge crisis in the US economy, which would augur the way for Communism. This is known as the Cloward-Piven Strategy. The idea behind this strategy is to overload the welfare system excessively by discouraging people to work and encouraging them to enjoy freebies. This would ultimately lead to collapse of the system. The key elements: of this strategy are mobilising the marginalised sections of the society to demand their 'rightful" benefits from the government, and then overloading the welfare system through mass enrolment. Cloward and Piven argued that this would create a political crisis that could only be resolved by implementing more 'progressive policies' which actually meant paving the way for Marxist or Communist regime. If you remember the riots and violent protests by so-called pro-Palestine supporters over the last couple of years and the anti-farm laws and anti-CAA protests of the 'wokes' and 'Islamists' in India, you should match the script with the prose of the 1967 book by Cloward and Piven: The Breaking of American Social Compact. The book advocates the use of 'Disruptive Protest' to push their demands. By disruptive protest, they mean, 'incendiarism, riots, sit-ins and other forms of civil disobedience, great surges in demand for relief benefits, rent strikes, wild cat strikes, obstructing production on assembly lines". The goal is to 'weaken the regime'. When the regime is vulnerable and insecure it is more likely to bargain and compromise. Cloward and Piven say social movements thrive on conflict. So, where there is no conflict, the wokes will have to create one. The fact that this paper came in 1966 followed by the book as mentioned above is evidence of how Marxists have penetrated the capitalist systems since the 1960s and arguably much before. In a nutshell, there are four steps of the Cloward-Piven strategy: Overload and break the welfare system; create anarchy and chaos; take control of the situation; implement socialism and communism to establish a new order. It is clear that the sustained pressure of the left is forcing creation of gigantic welfare states across the world. Welfare schemes are seen as entitlements now even in the developed economies and the same is happening in emerging economies too especially wherever there are democratic regimes. This has led to an increasing pressure of debt on the economies. In an increasingly fragmented global economic order, this has added to the fragility of the nation states especially the US and the West. top videos View all After sowing the seeds of anarchy and chaos in the developed West, the wokes are now moving towards democracies like India and other countries of the global South.

Charles Gasparino: Potential Trade Deals Could Be Coming in a Matter of 'Days'
Charles Gasparino, senior correspondent for FOX Business Network and author of Go Woke, Go Broke: The Inside Story of the Radicalization of Corporate America , joined The Guy Benson Show today to break down his recent reporting on potential trade deals aimed at navigating the Trump tariff battles currently rocking U.S. relations around the globe. Gasparino described the volatility rattling the stock market as reports and even social media posts send it soaring or plummeting. He also warned that if Trump initiates a trade war with China, it could ultimately do more harm to American farmers than it does to Beijing. Listen to the full interview below!

MAGA lawmaker wonders ‘did DEI play a role' in the deadly DC plane crash
Well, that didn't take long. With first responders still recovering bodies from the Potomac River, Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) wondered aloud during a Fox Business interview on Thursday whether diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) hiring policies played 'a role' in the deadly midair crash over Ronald Reagan National Airport. Ogles's reaction comes just weeks after MAGA pundits and right-wing politicians attempted to blame the devastating Southern California wildfires on the Los Angeles fire department having women in charge, describing it as 'death by DEI.' Meanwhile, hours after Ogles pondered the role DEI played in the crash, President Donald Trump outright blamed diversity hiring for the tragic accident during a press conference at the White House. 'We can't have regular people doing that job. They won't be able to do it. But we'll restore faith in American air travel,' he declared. 'I will have more to say about that. I do want to point out that various articles that appeared prior to my entering office, and here is one. The FAA's diversity push includes a focus on hiring people with severe intellectual and psych psychiatric disabilities.' He also took aim at former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, saying he ran 'it right into the ground with this diversity' and that the FAA under Buttigieg's watch 'determined that the workforce was too white.' Appearing on pro-Trump Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo's morning show, Ogles was asked to react to the horrific collision between an American Airlines passenger plane and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter which has likely left 67 people dead. 'You've been on the Homeland Security Committee – is there any reason to believe there is foul play here?' Bartiromo questioned. 'At this time, you hate to jump to any conclusions. Obviously, we will look at everything and check all the boxes,' the far-right Tennessee lawmaker said before immediately jumping to conclusions. 'I had just taken off from D.C. before the crash, and of course, it came across my cell phone and I saw it and was horrified, so prayers go out to all those impacted,' he declared. 'To your point, I think you have to look at this with eyes wide open and see what happened. You know, human error, was it some sort of equipment failure? Did DEI play a role in this type of thing?' Ogles continued: 'So I think you look at it and go into it with eyes wide open and make sure something like this never happens. It's been a number of years since we've had an aircraft collision such as this and so, again, prayers for all of those impacted.' Bartiromo didn't address Ogles's suggestion that diversity hiring efforts may have caused the accident, instead moving on to a question about Trump signing the Laken Riley Act into law. Ogles, like much of the Republican Party, has long demonized DEI and called for its elimination prior to Donald Trump's election. In 2023, he introduced the Go Woke, Go Broke Act, which he said 'would eliminate the Treasury Department's grotesque Advisory Committee on Racial Equity and prevent the Treasury from re-establishing a similar committee moving forward.' 'Right now, hard-earned taxpayer dollars are being spent by the Treasury Department to promote the Biden Administration's exclusionary and racist DEI ideology,' he said in a statement at the time. 'The President is so focused on pitting people against each other on the basis of race, he has turned a blind eye to the failure of woke businesses and banks in the private sector.' Amid the GOP's concerted campaign to ban DEI, conservatives have regularly blamed disasters and tragic accidents on efforts to bring more racial and gender-based diversity to the workplace. Following a malfunction that caused a door to dislodge from a Boeing 737 flight last year, right-wing provocateurs pointed to DEI initiatives as the main culprit. 'If I see a Black pilot, I'm going to be like, 'Boy, I hope he's qualified,'' Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk exclaimed. Additionally, after a cargo ship struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge and caused it to collapse, right-wing figures like Jack Posobiec shared memes linking the accident to DEI, wondering if people 'still think it's an accident.' After taking office last week, Trump signed executive orders that froze hiring across the federal government, though it is unclear if it applies to the Federal Aviation Administration and air traffic controllers as they may be included in exemptions for public safety and national security. Trump also terminated the FAA's 'hiring policy that prioritized diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) over safety and efficiency.' Democrats reacted to these orders last week by condemning 'Trump's dangerous freeze of air traffic control hiring,' prompting liberals and progressives to speculate that this may have led to the D.C. air collision. CNN pundit Bakari Sellers eventually deleted a tweet and apologized after sparking right-wing backlash for blaming Trump's recent executive actions for the tragedy. Meanwhile, a Mother Jones reporter noted on Wednesday night that before the crash, union representatives for federal air traffic controllers expressed concern to her that the combination of hiring freezes, resignations and payout offers to federal employees 'could seriously endanger public safety.'
