Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals
How to create a socialist state (The Cloward-Piven Strategy):
There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a socialist state.
The first is the most important.
- Healthcare—Control healthcare and you control the people.
- Poverty—Increase the poverty level as high as possible—poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.
- Debt—Increase debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
- Gun Control—Remove the ability of people to defend themselves from the Government—that way you are able to create a police state.
- Welfare—Take control of every aspect of their lives (food, housing, and income).
- Education—Take control of what people read and listen to; take control of what children learn in school.
- Religion—Remove belief in God from the Government and schools. Make the state supreme.
- Class Warfare—Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will then be easier to take from the wealthy (tax) with the support of the poor.
This plan was not enumerated in Alinsky’s book, but Alinsky inspired two Columbia University sociologists,
Richard Andrew Cloward and
Frances Fox Piven, to devise the “
Cloward-Piven Strategy” which seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse. This strategy is often attributed to Alinsky and left-wing websites like Snopes have tried to discredit the plan by declaring it false because Alinsky didn’t actually write the 8 steps in his book. But Snopes conveniently fails to correctly attribute the work to
Cloward and
Piven.
Also, the Fabian Socialists knew to weaken people so much that they were easily conquered. Never forget that fascism is of the left, not the right. The left doesn’t want you to know that they are the fascists—it has always been that way. Hitler and Mussolini were from the left and were fascists.
