The idea that he would play in the game of capitalism by writing a book to be sold at major retailers and then title it "Steal this Book", amused me. I thought it was a poke in the eye to whatever publisher gave him the advance.

Earth Day co-founder killed, composted girlfriend
Ira Einhorn preached against Vietnam War and violence, but had dark side
Ira Einhorn was on stage hosting the first Earth Day event at the Fairmount Park in Philadelphia on April 22, 1970. Seven years later, police raided his closet and found the "composted" body of his ex-girlfriend inside a trunk.
A self-proclaimed environmental activist, Einhorn made a name for himself among ecological groups during the 1960s and '70s by taking on the role of a tie-dye-wearing ecological guru and Philadelphia’s head hippie. With his long beard and gap-toothed smile, Einhorn — who nicknamed himself "Unicorn" because his German-Jewish last name translates to "one horn" —advocated flower power, peace and free love to his fellow students at the University of Pennsylvania. He also claimed to have helped found Earth Day.
But the charismatic spokesman who helped bring awareness to environmental issues and preached against the Vietnam War — and any violence — had a secret dark side. When his girlfriend of five years, Helen "Holly" Maddux, moved to New York and broke up with him, Einhorn threatened that he would throw her left-behind personal belongings onto the street if she didn't come back to pick them up.
And so on Sept. 9, 1977, Maddux went back to the apartment that she and Einhorn had shared in Philadelphia to collect her things, and was never seen again. When Philadelphia police questioned Einhorn about her mysterious disappearance several weeks later, he claimed that she had gone out to the neighborhood co-op to buy some tofu and sprouts and never returned.

He should have written a book - “My Private Cambodia”.
Socialist b*stard!
I heard a Rush caller this morning relate that Snarlin’ Arlen Specter got this scumbag out of jail on bail, which he promptly jumped for the good life in FRance for 20 years.
It appears the The Crazies have been around for a looooong time.
my poor parents hated that book
I remember some had a plain cover
The part about how to steal food was amusing
I think Hoffmann enjoyed the dope, celebrity and gullible nymphets more than any truly serious conviction like say Ayers or Cathy Wilkerson or Dohrn
!!!!! Post of the day!
Read “Radical Son” by David Horowitz (Jewish) to learn how the communist movement in the US in the 30’s was infiltrated with Jews.
I once had a neighbor who was a hard-core Greenie. While he preached all things Green, his property was a hideous brown wasteland. Ugliest yard on the street. I figured his yard was dead because there was no spirit of life over there. Maybe he thought his envirowacko words of wisdom could replace manual labor requiring hoe and hose.
Dead, soulless eyes....
