I’ve noticed there are many strong similarities. Fighting against the hierarchy , wanting a revolution , power of the people , etc. I would say from observation of studying footage of 1960s culture , listening to the lyrics to certain songs , adult political satire comic books of the time , The Yippies like Jerry Rubin — are Radicals “Anarchists” ?
Hippies and the spiritual movement plus the radical movement together regardless of differences , any one can see that a “Revolution” could have happened.
But was it really close to happening , was it really an Anarchist revolution , or was it just a music fad dying down ? Because it really seemed like everyone was so serious about the revolution not just fighting against the war but global peace and anti-capitalism. So what happened ? And is it even related to Anarchism even a little bit ?
And since it's been about 50 years later , what can we learn as Anarchists in terms of what works and what doesn't just from studying this history.
