Hippies were harmless losers who were only interested in having a good time but the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice - the visible arm of the Communist Party and the New Mobe - the visible arm of the Socialist Worker's Party - ran all of the planning, direction, funding of the Anti- Vietnam War movement. They had a continuous commuter service to Hanoi to receive direction and to bring back materials to support their propaganda.
Their lineal descendants are the ones running our country into the ground right now.
