Now it makes a lot of sense! Back when I was STILL living in Mexico I met my best friend's cousin who was about 17 years old. He was a Mexican-American with US Citizenship. His parents were so afraid to return to the USA. They kept saying "lo van a matar a mi-hijo, lo van a mandar ah esa guerra..." "They are going to kill my boy if they sent him to that war...". They were afraid the guy would be drafted and sent to Vietnam. I knew almost nothing about this war until I met my friend's cousin and much later I watched through the Mexican TV about this horrible war in the mid-70's

And of course during all of this teddy kennedy was looking for his pants.

36:06 in the late 1960's as the Vietnam War mounted in ferocity, comedian Milton Berle once quipped: "Hey y'know the best way to end the Vietnam War? Put the whole war on ABC it won't last more than a week" or something like that. The reason for that joke? In the 1960's and before that ABC was the least watched of the three major television networks. In the 1950's and 60's it trailed behind CBS and NBC with many low rated shows with some exceptions like BEWITCHED and the FLINTSTONES. I believe by the end of the 1960's NBC on top of TV ratings with popular shows like LAUGH IN; CBS was a close second and ABC trailed in third. But when the 70's rolled in, that was all gonna change.

@dimetronome

It doesn't really have to do with human rights (the US had/has a pretty terrible human rights record too, so human rights is never really a real concern of the US). It's because communism and the civil rights movement both place emphasis on equality and social justice. Americans have always perceived any form of equity and social justice as radical. You can still see it in the US today, where politicians and programs that would be considered moderate or centrist in any other country are viewed as "radical," "far left" or "communist/socialist" by a lot of Americans.

@@getmeoutofsanfrancisco9917 I will speak on a purely historical level too. I agree with what you’re saying. There was a significant overlap between the civil rights movement and socialist/communist movements due to the ideological emphasis on egalitarianism. Although there were also progressive liberal feminists and liberal civil rights activists, most of the feminists at the time and the majority of prominent civil rights activists and leaders were overtly socialist. Indeed, the struggle against racism and Jim Crow was understood by most members of the civil rights movement as part of a larger class struggle against capitalist oppression (you can see this in MLK’s speeches and the writings of so many civil rights activists). By the 1960s, liberals started supporting the civil rights movement in larger numbers (although the liberals were focused more on reforms and identity politics, whereas the socialists sought more radical systemic changes - for ex., the Marxist-Leninist BPP). Prior to this, most anti-racism movements overlapped with anti-capitalist movements for ideological reasons. Yes, liberals have supported feminist and civil rights causes, but the fact that they favour slower and more cautious change means that socialists and communists are usually far ahead of them in supporting progressive social issues like feminism and civil rights. I’m not intending to pass judgement on liberalism or socialism/communism, but simply stating facts about history and political ideology.

The critics used this for propaganda to permanently deny the U.S from going to battle ever again and being successful. As for example WW-II.

One of the reasons why I love Australia, New Zeland, France, England, etc is because I go outside and I see many many different people with different colors, sizes, shapes, ideas, beliefs, ways of thinking, and I just love it. It makes life much more interesting

Since I was there in the 60s I will try to explain why we became Hippies. There was a war going on and people were a willing part of the military industrial complex. People had closed minds and bigotry was rife. America's outdated views on sex and sexual expression was readily evident. We didn't want to be a part of this scene so we created our own scene. We began to protest all these things that we felt we were not a part of. It was the only way to not get caught up in the stampede to conservatism and ramrod straight Americanism. We still believed in America but we saw the potential of the greatest country on earth. Nixon was the worst. You cannot believe how hard it was to be independent in the Nixon years. Nixon taught conforming to the majority and there was no place for minorities. We thought there was a place for us in America as dissenters, and most of our protests were proven to be right on. Did it have any effect in the larger scheme of things? I think it did but there will always be those who disagree,. Now, America is the most feared nation and we can beat anyone militarily, Is that what we want to be? I don't think so. I think we need to listen to our hearts sometime and not be so gung ho about getting things our way. We have to get along with 130 other nations in the world., I had a ball being a hippie.
