Cloward and Piven focused on causing the Democratic Party back in 1966 was to take federal government take action to help the poor. They wanted all who were poor to be on welfare, causing confusion and growing debt, disruption and chaos in the agencies in both local and state governments. This would cause more class warefare division between the poor and the rich. The objective is in creating division between the working class, the white middle classs, and the poor minority.
A combination of class and race warefare resulting in conflict.The ultimate purpose was to wipe out poverty, create a income that was sustained by the government.The end game was the demise of capitalism, and the creation of government controlled welfare states, all in the name of helping the poor.
