I wasn’t politically aware when I graduated from high school in 1968, but I can’t imagine it compares to our current situation. It’s hard to know what you didn’t experience. However, too many adult Americans reside in the same place I did at age 18. However, unlike my young self, they vote.

As a protester I was just a foot soldier, but we manned the barricades, protesting the war in Vietnam, saw students murdered at Kent State by the National Guard. The country was coming apart. But I agree that today is worse, because we still had resilient institutions, economy, and infrastructure then, to carry on with after things settled down. Now all of that is gone.
Even Libertarianism. Government needs to be controlled. BUT it is absolutely necessary. I do not remember which of the Great Philosophers it was, but he said government is requires when two or more people live together.
Insightful synopsis. Thank you.

And you were against those institutions back then, right? Marxism is a disease, a mind virus, just like Feminism or Libertarianism.
Yup! Good statement LUGH.
