The West's Strategy for Self-Destruction: Is It Intentional?

Western civilization stands at a critical crossroads. Some argue that the ongoing mass migration, monetary recklessness, and unchecked bureaucratic growth aren’t accidental—they are part of a deliberate plan to dismantle Western society from within. Commentator Charlie Kirk articulates this view, suggesting that North America and Western Europe are actively employing strategies rooted in the radical ideas of Marxist political philosophers.

The Cloward-Piven Strategy: A Blueprint for Collapse

In the 1970s, Marxist scholars Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven proposed a strategy to overwhelm and destabilize the U.S. government by creating crises. Their goal was to bankrupt the welfare system and force a socialist revolution. But, as Charlie Kirk explains, their vision wasn’t limited to social welfare; it outlined a broader strategy to dismantle Western society through three main avenues:

• Economic Collapse: By printing trillions of dollars without restraint, the value of currency would be eroded, destabilizing the economy and triggering a financial crisis, which would demand drastic government intervention.
• Deep State Tyranny: The creation of a massive administrative state—or “deep state”—would serve as a tool to oppress citizens. Rather than protect people, this bureaucracy would target political dissidents, absorb the private sector, and crush opposition.
• Mass Immigration: Opening the borders to millions of migrants would overwhelm public services, dilute national identity, and destabilize the political landscape. This is the most visible aspect of the Cloward-Piven strategy, aimed at fracturing the unity of society.

According to Kirk, the policies we’re seeing today—uncontrolled migration, bureaucratic overreach, and reckless money printing—are not accidents. These are the direct manifestations of the Cloward-Piven vision. The individuals pushing these policies aren’t merely incompetent; they are executing a calculated plan to erode the foundations of Western civilization.

Marxist Theory and the Cloward-Piven Award

An example of this destructive vision in action is the Cloward-Piven Award, given annually by the Critical Political Science section of the American Political Science Association. The use of the term “Critical” in this context is a direct reference to Marxist theory. Whether it’s Critical Race Theory or Critical Gender Theory, the objective is the same: to destabilize institutions by using identity-based divisions as tools of societal disruption.

• Critical Race Theory: Uses race as a means to divide and destabilize American culture and institutions.
• Critical Gender Theory: Has fueled the radical trans movement and all other lines of operations against sexual identity..
• Critical Immigration Theory: Is a destructive force aimed at overwhelming and destabilizing the receiving nation by manipulating immigration policies.

In essence, “Critical” is a Marxist tactic designed to attack specific aspects of society. The noun that follows—whether race, gender, or immigration—represents the vector of attack.

A Recognition of Destruction

The recipients of the Cloward-Piven Award are organizations that have actively contributed to this ideological strategy. Here are a few past winners:

• 2022: Hoodstock, Montreal
• 2021: Familias Unidas por la Justicia, Burlington, Washington
• 2020: East Side Arts Alliance and Cultural Center, Oakland, California
• 2019: Black Lives Matter, DC
• 2018: Young Abolitionists, Boston
• 2017: LeftRoots, San Francisco
• 2016: Urban Tree Connection, Philadelphia

Organizations like Black Lives Matter (BLM) are prime examples of this approach. While BLM is often presented as a movement to improve the lives of African Americans, it has been exposed as a Marxist initiative rooted in Critical Race Theory. Its true agenda was never about uplifting communities but about advancing a radical Marxist agenda designed to disrupt Western institutions.

The Agenda Behind the Award

The Cloward-Piven Award is not a recognition of positive social change—it is a celebration of Marxist efforts to destabilize Western civilization. Just as Critical Race Theory divides on the basis of race, and Critical Gender Theory divides on the basis of identity, Critical Immigration Theory is being used to break down the social fabric of nations by overwhelming them with migrants.

As the recipients of this award show, the real agenda is not about justice or equality—it’s about the calculated destruction of Western institutions through division and chaos.
