Cloward - Piven In All Of Its Glory

I've heard about this "theory" for years, but never read it. For your "disruptive" and "re-distributing" edification, here it is. Read it on an empty stomach.

I read this years ago. A couple of helpful "professors" as I recall. My memory is the theory went "overload the country's ability to pay/manage its affairs so chaos will result and out of chaos comes communism" -- or something.

However, my memory also tells me that chaos leads to anarchy and then some hero will step up to take control (the masses will approve) and then he will necessarily become a tyrant in order to keep control over the populace. Soooo, yeah, it always works.
