The big question is what is the cause of todays leftist movements. Certainly the 60s revolution was a contributor but I think it is too simplistic to give it the entire blame. For instance what caused the environment movement which in many ways today paralyzes technology advancements and industrial growth, and is probably the root for the crazed global warming fiasco. Certainly industries blatant disregard for the health of its employees and surronding communites had to be a factor and perhaps the basis. The rest may have been due to ‘do gooderism’, a key characteristic of our society, that often runs amok as can be witnessed by the zero drug policies of our primary schools and other over-regulated measures.
