Idealism : The New Left Cultural Anarchism

A Tribute to Abbie Hoffman , Jerry Rubin , The 55th Anniversary of The Youth International Party , John Lennon , Peter Coyote & The Diggers and all the Anarchists & Leftists of the 1960s Counterculture era. A piece of history that is often misunderstood as " not a serious part of history ". ( The following is for educational, research, historic & commentary purposes. ) In the 1960s, there was a split of the Anarchist & Leftist movements. The Old Left & The New Left. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Left https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Left https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/New_Left Then eventually there was Cultural Anarchism within The New Left as well as the Counterculture at the time . https://www.anarchistfaq.org/afaq/sectionA.html#seca36 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterculture_of_the_1960s The Diggers used Mutual Aid, Dual Power, Libertarian Alternatives & Culture to bring about mini “ Free Societies “ in the here and now which inspired The Yippies. When it comes to The Youth International Party ( aka The Yippies ( * Abbie Hoffman & Jerry Rubin * ) not only were they able to radicalize John Lennon but perhaps The New Left itself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youth_International_Party They were not afraid to be different & non-conform from “ The Old Left “ tradition and be rejected by MOST Anarchists & Leftists. They are great examples of “ Cultural Anarchism “ which they have used terms such as “ Cultural Revolutionaries , Revolutionary Artists , & even Groucho Marxists “. In an age of not only skepticism, cynicism, and killjoy seriousness in politics, there has been hateful & fearful panicking negative attitudes towards things from New Age Spirituality itself as well as “ IDEALISM “ to the point where it’s being called out as THE ENEMY OF THE ANARCHIST & LEFTIST MOVEMENT AND COULD START CULTURE WAR / CIVIL WAR / COLLAPSE OF THE MOVEMENT & CAUSE / etc. Such controversy was been going on in their time as well. It was the very thing such Idealist New Left Cultural Anarchists were challenging. Are they the true enemy ? Or is the root cause “ AUTHORITARIANISM “ ? Abbie Hoffman was a unique individual. The Youth International Party ( The Yippies ) welcomed those who differed from “ THE NORM “ to come join them. And as someone who’s a marginalized minority and someone who feels different from the world around me , I STRONGLY resonate with that as an INFP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb4FYakPAQU Such Counterculture 1960s era examples such as this showed community, a friendship family of like minded social outcasts. 5 years being an Anarchist, a few years being accepted into the BreadTube community ( even though I’m grateful ) , something tells me intuitively in my heart and my soul that the 1960s did things BETTER than The Anarchist & Leftist Movement today. I see humans , but where’s the humanity ? Regardless of what anyone things , I for one find it very inspirational. Perhaps it’s too “ IDEALIST “ for some. Perhaps it’s because I’m an INFP , a minority personality type. “ We are minorities , people like us always were. “ _ John Lennon ( Rolling Stone interview 1971 ) Abbie Hoffman took his life in 1989 at the age of 52 in the end. Alienated by the world he always always rebellious against with his nonconformist free spiritness ! Many seen him as clown but he was IN FACT a professional Clinical Psychologist. Only if he knew that he was not alone and HE WAS RIGHT ! Happy 55th Anniversary of The Youth International Party ! YIPPIE !
