‘This Spring, We‘ll See Action’: Piven Issues Dark Prediction on Occupy Wall Street

According to Frances Fox Piven:
- The Occupy Wall Street movement is entering the phase where it “makes trouble.”
- “We’ll see action against the banks, against the corporations.”
- Different forms of protests that will engage many people.
- Occupy was helped by “sympathetic” press coverage.
Leftist professor and activist Frances Fox Piven last week predicted the Occupy Wall Street movement is entering the phase where it “makes trouble” and will soon be taking action against banks and other institutions.
“It may well be that the Occupy movement is now in its second phase, in the phase where it makes trouble, in the phase where it threatens to shut down institutions,” Piven said. “The Occupy movement has moved into the neighborhoods of our cities, it has moved into the schools….This spring, we’ll see action against the banks, against the corporations.”
She added, “It is going to be a spring with lots of protests that take different forms and engage lots of people.”
Piven made her comments during a lecture to a group of students at the University of Connecticut last Friday. She touched on the genesis of the Occupy movement, which she said was particularly a result of the financial crisis, which “exposed those in charge of the economy as illegitimate.”
“The people who were sitting on top of the world, the top-tenth of the top 1 percent, were guilty. They were guilty of thievery, of chicanery,” Piven said.
Calling Occupy Wall Street “a brilliant tactical innovation,” Piven dismissed the notion that local authorities actually worried about the sanitary conditions of the encampments, saying their major concern was how easily the “99 percent” theme caught on — helped by sympathetic press coverage.
“The press began to cover them, and as the press began to cover them, the press became more sympathetic. The slogan, ‘we are the 99 percent, they are the 1 percent,’ is so clear, how can you say they have no demands?” she said. “Then the polls started to show that the message was resonating with a lot of Americans. And as that happened, the local authorities became worried. All of a sudden, it was very dangerous to have people sleeping overnight.”
Taking questions from students, Piven was asked how lawmakers can pass laws for “the 99 percent” without being viewed as socialist.
“Well, we’ll call them democratic, or maybe we’ll call them anarchists,” Piven replied before adding to audience laughter: “No, you can’t call a law an anarchist law.”
She continued, “I know one poll that shows something like half of the youngest age group polled, probably 15 to 25, saw no problems with socialism. I myself am not a socialist, but, you know, who knows what that is? I want to try to reform American capitalism to the extent that it can be reformed, and then we’ll see.”
Questioned about the Tea Party, Piven resurrected one of her old refrains that the movement is racist.
“The Tea Party has a chant at its rallies. The chant is ‘Take it back! Take it back! Take it back!’ And you know who they want to take it back from? They want to take it back from African Americans, immigrants. They can’t stand the idea, they’ve popularized the idea that our African American president is a Muslim,” she said.
Piven also espoused her views on the charter school versus public school debate, saying in charter schools, “poorer children…don’t get the same kind of educational services.”
“If we take the funds that are designated to public education and we give them to for-profit entrepreneurs they’re going to behave in an entrepreneurial way,” she said, meaning teachers will “select out the kids who will do best.”
Asked about the “hostile” business environment in the U.S., another student questioned what is stopping businesses from picking up and relocating due to over-regulation.
“You know, these businesses need government, they rely on government,” Piven replied. “There may come a time when this new super structure of international agencies like the IMF, the World Trade Organization, the World Bank, the European Union is so highly developed they can actually function to provide the safeguards, the credibility, the infrastructure, the legal framework that business requires. They haven’t yet so I would say let’s tame business, fence them in, while it can be tamed.”
Piven gave her talk as part of a University of Connecticut political science forum. Joseph Gasser, president of the University of Connecticut College Republicans, told The Blaze that while Piven has “every right to voice her collectivist opinions,“ he believes it was ”a mistake“ to give a platform to someone with ”a demonstrable misunderstanding of economics and a vicious contempt for those who have made themselves successful.
Student members from both the College Republicans and the University of Connecticut Young Americans for Liberty attended the event.
“Hosting her sends the message to students, faculty and donors to the university that this is an environment where covetousness, envy and ill will are encouraged at the expense of industriousness, hard work and ingenuity,” Gasser said.

Like most of the rest of them she’s never been adrift in the real world, working within the great unwashed masses. And, also like most of them, she has nursed a delusion that she is somehow more intelligent and only people like her are qualified to tell everybody what is best for them.
She needs to understand that most of us realize that the bankers are out-of-control, but that we don’t want to scrap the entire system because of that.
And she’s too naive to understand that the only true racism today comes from non-whites in this country who reject traditional American values, especially the black population who are the most racist people on earth.
She is going to get her civil upheaval, and when it reaches a point where an overwhelming force is pushing her “99” percenters aside, along with the racist mal-contents, she’ll be swept aside and relegated to the kook fringe where she has always been and where she truly belongs.

The left is violent. Make no doubt about it. The puppet-masters at the top of the Bolshevik dung heap are manuevering. Leon Panetta was quite clear the other day about foreign authority trumping Congressional authority. His tongue slipped and he opened up to the visions of the Bolshevik puppet-masters.
There are more good people than bad. We need every good person we can assemble. At some point, the blister will burst. The venom will run out of the open sore that is the far left.

Did you just… say… ummm… “their [sic] are many people who keep getting reborn (because that‘s what life’s about)….”? Unless you are talking about being baptized in the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, which is done once and for all, that is reincarnation which Christians can never believe in. Oh, by the way, swearing by the Lord is not the best thing to do unless you are intending to testify to the Truth in court of law, and in which case it’s asking for Devine intervention to recall accurately the accounts as you remember.
As for those who listen to Piven and follow her, their eyes are clouded with the lies that their perceived notion of earthy justice will resolve their problems.

Action only comes when it comes down to a choice of whether to die of starvation or to die in a fight. Only then will people generally choose to fight.

Posted on March 9, 2012 at 6:34amI think the ows have been a boon to regular normal people…regular normal people see these filthy dirty drug addled and drunk, lice infested punks with their murders, their drug od’s, and their rapes, and children left alone…well, they see that and its like the silent majority is going to reign again….Fox piven just is too demented to realize it…

Our imperfect union gets better when slavery is curtailed. Our imperfect union gets better when women finally ratify in 36th, 37th & 38th state the Equal Rights Amendment, voting is not enough… Our imperfect union gets better when labor can collectively bargain & get living wages planned from all businesses NOT CHEATED BY BUSINESS OWNERS who rarely cheat suppliers who are other business owners… stand with peoples needs not the fake rights of greed

Posted on March 9, 2012 at 7:26amHireFireLiar…….Why advertise your ignorance?
Piven/Ayars/Dhorn, and many others have been trying to bring down our system for 50 years.
Though our system has had some greedy people take advantage of others, there were some greedy “average” Americans who caused trouble for themselves, too. How many overextended to build a home during the expanding housing bubble only to default?
Tell me….HireFire, how many Blacks were chanelled into home ownership for the sake of social-engineering, only to not be able to make payments?
But, really, HireFire, tell me how Socialism is working wherever it has been tried? Greece, Spain, Portugal, Cuba, Soviet Union, anyplace. You cannot support equal-results (thats everyone having the exact same of whatever). You will have no freedom. The government will set all policies, both social and economic. They will set all educational content, what car you will drive…..how big a home you can have.
Then…theres the issue of gun ownership. I bet you are against that, HireFire. Tell me, how did that work out in Cambodia with the Khmer Rouge? Do you know about that? Russia, after the Bolsheviks took over.
Report Post »HireFire….I can’t even get mad at you for your ignorance. You are a product of the government school system. That system has failed to teach American History, America’s Constitution, and why it was written so that people like FF Piven would hopefully not take freedom from people like you.

@DECENDENTOF56
LarryBob can not help but to advertise his ignorance.
The definition of the word “ignorance” indicates that the “ignorant” would most likely be unaware of their own “ignorance”
His very existence advertises his ignorance.
And that pretty much sums up my learned opinion of the entire, collective, Left.

Posted on March 9, 2012 at 6:14amHow many cities are going to stand by and let these animals destroy your town, your businesses, and your economy?
NOW is the time for citizens to stand up and demand that their local government and police do not allow these animals to destroy their communities.
Start having Town Hall meeting NOW on how to protect your neighborhoods. Demand that local police enforce PEACEFUL PROTESTS and DO NOT ALLOW any groups demonstrating to remain overnight. Put in force “places and times” that PEACEFUL PROTESTS are allowed. DO NOT let them turn your American city into the garbage and drug dump that happened in NYC. Do not allow your town to be used for sex, drugs, and destruction. Demand that city officials protect the property and safety of the people who live and pay taxes in the towns. Tell city officials that they will be sued and removed from office if they do not protect the rights of the citizens they are elected to represent.
Stand up now and defend your community. This is just another way to economically destroy towns across the country. Do not sit back and wait for the riots to start….stop them before they start.
The PIVEN and Van Jones Revolution is NOT Peaceful assembly
You cannot AFFORD for your taxes to increase because you have to pay for the destruction these animals want to bring to your city. You need to feed your family and buy gas, you cannot afford to pay for extra police work and cleanup and possible rioting, burning, and looting. S

Posted on March 9, 2012 at 8:01amYou are correct ‘Dublin’ she is pure evil and misguided and has an ax to grind with capitalism since she likely failed at being successful in terms of the the definition of having financial liquidity. After all everyone of these OWS morons and all the entitlement fleas on the taxpayer backs are inept and lazy and ignorant so this is the ticket for their lame behavior. They want to start a revolution this Spring period. BHO and his losers will get one fired up most certainly. The G8 just moved from Chicago to Camp David because I am sure Rahm Emanuel begged BHO to move it as his city would get trashed by “their own”. Any other Mayor would have been given the cold shoulder. Pelozi states oil is leaping in price because of speculators but Steven Chu, Sec of Energy says BHO and team want it to go through the roof so we are forced to find alternative energy. Clearly the administration is not synced up! The price of a barrel of oil will cause upheaval in the streets this Spring in itself and OWS will trash the Republican Convention as their venue of choice since the G8 moved from Chicago.
