Frances Fox Piven Rings in The New Year By Calling for Violent Revolution

Andrew Cloward and his wife Frances Fox Piven.
She’s considered by many as the grandmother of using the American welfare state to implement revolution. Make people dependent on the government, overload the government rolls, and once government services become unsustainable, the people will rise up, overthrow the oppressive capitalist system, and finally create income equality. Collapse the system and create a new one. That‘s the simplified version of Frances Fox Piven’s philosophy originally put forth in the pages of The Nation in the 60s.
Now, as the new year ball drops, Piven is at it again, ringing in 2011 with renewed calls for revolution.
In a chilling and almost unbelievable editorial again in The Nation (”Mobilizing the Jobless,” January 10/17, 2011 edition), she calls on the jobless to rise up in a violent show of solidarity and force. As before, those calls are dripping with language of class struggle. Language she and her late husband Richard Cloward made popular in the 60s.
“So where are the angry crowds, the demonstrations, sit-ins and unruly mobs?” she writes. “After all, the injustice is apparent. Working people are losing their homes and their pensions while robber-baron CEOs report renewed profits and windfall bonuses. Shouldn’t the unemployed be on the march? Why aren’t they demanding enhanced safety net protections and big initiatives to generate jobs?” [Emphasis added]
Those are the questions that frame what can best be called a roadmap for revolution. And it’s not long before those questions give way to directions. The first instruction: get angry.
Piven in an old picture from the Boston Globe.
“[B]efore people can mobilize for collective action, they have to develop a proud and angry identity and a set of claims that go with that identity,” she writes. “They have to go from being hurt and ashamed to being angry and indignant.”
And along with anger must come a denunciation of personal responsibility. Instead, workers must realize that others have put them in their current, uneasy situation: “[T]he out-of-work have to stop blaming themselves for their hard times and turn their anger on the bosses, the bureaucrats or the politicians who are in fact responsible.”
Only then, once their rage has been properly stoked, can the angry take action. And when they do, she says, the “protesters need targets.”
For Piven, the best “targets” are the people or organizations “capable of making some kind of response to angry demands.” Regular demands, notice, just won’t do. No, people must be fired up and not easily deterred. Angry and not quickly placated. It’s a concoction Piven has seen recently in other countries — countries such as England and Greece, which she uses as models for American unrest:
An effective movement of the unemployed will have to look something like the strikes and riots that have spread across Greece in response to the austerity measures forced on the Greek government by the European Union, or like the student protests that recently spread with lightning speed across England in response to the prospect of greatly increased school fees. [Emphasis added]
What exactly do those strikes and riots look like? They’re violent and bloody, like this one in Greece, where rioters firebombed police and beat bloody a former government official:
In England they look like this, where a mob of angry students attacked the future British King and his wife and shouted “Off with their heads!” while jabbing the Duchess with a stick:
“What she is calling for is nothing less than the chaos and violence engulfing Europe,” writes Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Ron Radosh on his blog. “Disgruntled leftist unionists, students who expect an education without cost, and citizens of social-democratic states cannot accept that the old terms of the social contract they thought would last forever have worn out their welcome. The European welfare-state governments can no longer function with the kind of social programs that now far exceed their nation’s budgets and hence are moving their countries to the precipice of total collapse.”
But violence has always been Piven’s preferred method of collapse. In 2004, she admitted as much, saying that violence is condoned as long as it is part of a grand plan:
What may be new is the brazen way in which Piven is now making her intentions known. No longer do her and people like her have to hide in the shadows. Now, they feel comfortable enough with the political climate to espouse their views openly, freely, unabashedly. It’s a phenomenon Radosh believes has to do with the current administration: leftists see a renewed opportunity now that Obama is in power.
“Now, as President Barack Obama is beginning the mid-point of his first and possibly only term in office, the Left is again trying to advance a new form of the old strategy,” he writes. And “as our national economy and many state and city budgets again are at the breaking point,” he adds, “Frances Fox Piven has issued a new call to repeat and build upon the ruinous strategies that she and her late husband advanced decades ago.”
In 1966 when Cloward and Piven published their first manifesto in The Nation, Americans were spell bound — especially poorer Americans who sucked up the couple’s call like a dying desert cactus. The New Republic’s John McWhorter writes:
But when Piven and Cloward published a manifesto in The Nation, there were 30,000 reprint requests. One thousand neighborhood service centers nationwide encouraged people to go on welfare who would not have otherwise. In the ’60s, one-third of the people whose incomes made them eligible for AFDC were on the rolls. By 1971, 90 percent were.
An old strategy for a new year. Let‘s hope it doesn’t have the same effect.

Posted on December 31, 2010 at 5:05pmHate to tell Ms. Piven this, but Revolution would require work, and your welfare state has created “Soldiers” who very likely won’t be doing any “revolting” because it requires putting down the remote and getting off the couch. Now if you wanted to have it in their living rooms and it’s before their programs come on tv, well then maybe we can kick off the rebelion right now.
Can you imagine this type of “Revolutionary” Army on the march? They would have to hit every Starbucks drive thru, their vehicles could only be “Green” machines and everyone would have to be back home every 30 days to get their “Check”. Your side doesn’t believe in weapons, Dumbass! What are you going to fight with, Tofu cannons? LOL, LOL, LOL.

Posted on January 1, 2011 at 4:32pmIntrepidsi, your point is exactly the same as Piven’s: that unemployment makes for apathy and lethargy, not indignation and anger. What you have wrong is the bit about Starbuck’s and “green” cars; here you seem to have confused people getting welfare and unemployment benefits with academic and other left-wing elites such as (I assume) Piven herself.

Posted on December 31, 2010 at 4:47pmI don’t understand how someone can publicly advocate violence in the streets without any fear of any kind of punishment. I think the right to free speech ends once you advocate general uprisings and violence. The first instance of anything like this taking place she should be arrested and if found guilty spend the rest of her life in prison.
Another thought, should me or any of my family be the victims of the violence that she advocates I for one would be very tempted to take the law into my own hands, especially if I thought that the government wasn’t going to punish her, and punish her myself. The funny thing is that she is relying on the same forces that she is railing against to protect her from people like me. A little ironic.

Lets pretend for a moment that this POS spouts shows up in an Ideal America, where laws are enforced and the government actually does work. The AG decides that he is actually going to prosecute for treason or if not treason than for something. All Piven would have to do is scream FASCIST!!!!!!!!!!! and hire on the ACLU to defend her right to say this. It would be a political disaster. The Left Wing media would be behind her, the liberal Network Media would be ambivilant at best and the few right wing outlets would be screaming for her head. At the end of the day she would be aquitted by some moron judge and proclaim victory over the forces of hatred and fear like liberals always seem to do when they narrowly avoid being trapped by their own words.

The reason people are not finding other jobs is they get more in unemployment benefits than they would working 40 hrs a week. Change this and people will be forced to go back to work, even if it means 2 minimum wage jobs. Work as a dishwasher, they always need them and they usually get well above minimum wage and it is not a bad job. Take online classes to get ahead, there is always a way out…
