Hint: It Brings Out Your Very Best

by Michael D. Hume, M.S.

Frances Fox Piven, an elderly former professor and far-left activist, stood before a small group of the protestors currently involved in the "Occupy Wall Street" event. Piven, who in younger days espoused (seriously) a plan to "collapse the system" in America under the weight of big-government entitlements, is something of an icon to the Left. And now her comrades are closer than ever to achieving the goals she's worked for during her career.

As she addressed the gathering, she didn't (as far as I heard) talk about any content, or deliver any ideas, or put forth any argument. What Professor Piven delivered were more like the sort of invocations or prayers you hear in church. And the group, in church-like call-and-response style, repeated after her, word-for-word. It sounded like chanting. Frankly, it sounded monotone and resigned, like a group of zombies.

If you read the professor's work from decades ago, you learn that she was for replacing tigers white home jersey the American free-market system of capitalism with collectivism and statism, little unlike the systems tried in the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. But I haven't heard her talking about that these days. At least not with this crowd. Her tigers white home jersey only exhortations to the Wall Street group have been about pulling the current system tigers white home jersey down... no mention of what she'd have in its place.

I'll bet there are plenty of protestors occupying Wall Street today who'd describe Frances Fox Piven as an inspirational leader. I don't see it. I see her as an agitator, nothing more. Why? Because every time someone sticks a microphone in the face of one of her occupying followers, they'll tell you what they're against ("everything," as one young man said)... but generally, they don't know what they're for.
