Very confusing to watch liberals say "that's not who we are as a country" just two years later. An early sign that they were/are not serious people.

![Wikipedia excerpt: “In the United States, the "New Left" was the name loosely associated with radical, Marxist political movements that took place during the 1960s, primarily among college students. At the core of this was the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). 25, Noting the perversion of "the older Left" by "Stalinism", in their 1962 Port Huron Statement the SDS eschewed

Mills (1916-1962) entitled Letter to the New Left. 281 Mills argued for a new
leftist ideology, moving away from the traditional ("Old Left") focus on labor issues (whose entrenched leadership in the U.S. supported the Cold War and pragmatic establishment politics), into a broader focus towards issues such as
opposing alienation, anomie, and authoritarianism. Mills argued for a shift from traditional leftism, toward the values of the counterculture, and emphasized an internationa perspective on the movement. 29 According to David Burner, C. Wright Mills claimed that the proletariat (collectively the working-class referencing Marxism) were no longer the revolutionary force; the new agents of revolutionary change were young intellectuals around the world. 130]”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yd4lvwz73nv7ghdjyhlmtepf/bafkreie5vkl5javl3hbekegyd6aahjjh7biyg3tswfc3uzvzy3rlc5zv2q@jpeg)
