Greg Reese reports on the Cloward-Piven strategy, a political theory developed in the 1960s by Richard Cloward and Francis Piven. The strategy advocates for overwhelming the U.S. welfare system to trigger a bureaucratic collapse, forcing the government to implement a socialist system with guaranteed basic income. The report links this ideology to modern political movements like the Squad and Black Lives Matter.
