>A world where hardline marxists are right wing... Thats amazing.
No, truly, I didn't come from such a world. I just meant that at some point I realised that all the (left wing!) radical groups in 1970 could be seen as representative of the history of Russia and the USSR, so I put the anarchists on the left and the Leninists on the right.
Since we were young we were ignorant and snobbish. The feminists weren't good either. I pity their poor fathers now, making the mistake of opening car doors for them. Some parents were baffled and alarmed (dialectic? abolition of private property? how will you eat?).
This was the second most recent bout of utopian enthusiasm from countries with (if I'm not mistaken) a Christian background affecting the assumptions we took for granted. Dealt with beautifully in this song..... It's rather long, I can understand you not wanting to bother (it sometimes causes me physical pain listening to people), nevertheless, here it is, a song about the 70s utopian project, which I love
