FYI there were a lot of Marxists playing the same game in 1968.

You're right, they were. But there were sooooooo many baby boomer students involved that the Marxist lost control.

I'm not so certain. Think in terms of 'cultural marxism', and how many expansions of big government and erosions of our freedoms have grown out of what were worthy causes at that time.

One example is environmentalism. It was originally grass roots designed so that industry did not pass some of the costs of production onto the general public in the form of gross environmental destruction.

Environmentalism has slowly morphed into a quasi religion enforced by the EPA, in conjunction with the CDC, the FDA, and the UN to expand government control of virtually every aspect of our lives using junk science.

All common sense has been thrown out the window. Instead of reasonably clean air, water, soil, the goals are now to have smoke stacks release air better than you would find in a clean room.
