As others have said, the “goals” certainly seem quite prophetic.

I’ve also seen and heard lists of those publicly espousing Communism in the 1960s. And while I haven’t hunted down the quotes for each of those names, I do mentally check them off when I find supportive statements here and there.

John Lennon hemmed and hawed both sides of the coin.
I seem to recall Mick Jagger talking about heading out to some riot/protest in 1968 (and I’m not referring to the lyrics of some song).

Scratch the surface of the so-called anti-war movement and you’ll find proud Communists who embraced Soviet, Cuban, and North Vietnamese Communism. They weren’t anti-war. They never demanded the North Vietnamese end their aggression nor did they criticize their genocide of the opposition “after the war”.

Yes, leftist “anti-war” movements are always one-sided; the non-leftist entity has to stop the war and surrender, but not the leftist “freedom fighters”.
