If the liberals are simply trying to avert “a revolution from below,” they would do well to abandon the never-ending class warfare rhetoric, which only serves to agitate the poor, set-upon lower classes. The activities of Community Organizer Obama organized the lower classes and urged & trained them to harass and extort from their oppressors.
Frances Fox Piven, of Cloward-Piven Strategy fame, recently hoped that America would experience uprisings like those in Greece. Sounds like a pro-revolution stance to me. If the goal is to overthrow capitalism by overwhelming the government bureaucracy with entitlement demands, as the Cloward-Piven Strategy recommends, the left seems to be leading that charge.
Perhaps the left really doesn’t want “a revolution from below.” Perhaps they will be happy if the American system merely collapses of its own weight so that they may bring their utopian vision to America–with themselves as leaders, of course. I wonder if the lower classes will indeed be better off, once The Rich have been destroyed in the manner prescribed by Saul Alinsky and described by Bernard Chapin. I wonder if Ms. Piven and Community Organizer Obama actually believe they will be. Or care.
