The libertarian movement is heterogeneous. The retarded side gained in visibility among non-libertarians, the exception being the Ron Paul/Mises movement.
There was much cultural intermingling with retarded hippies over some social and political agreements (such as the draft). An Eternal September effect happened too, where those concerned with socioeconomic theory couldn't keep up with all the influx of dipshits that wanted only their taxes lower and to smoke weed. These dipshits had no immunity to woke contamination. Maybe someone alive during the cold war can correct me, but much of the hippie movement was the nucleus of modern America's woke culture, alongside broader cultural marxist phenomenon spanning the past century.

At the height of the "hippie" era there were the "heads," those who only wanted to be left alone to smoke pot, drop acid, and pursue esoteric and Eastern religions, and Communists of the New Left, including such useful idiots as Tom Hayden, Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, etc. Wolves in sheep's clothing. The New Left was the prototype of today's neo-Marxist movement glorifying the ideas of Marcuse, Adorno, et. al. It was the beginning of the so-called "long march through the institutions."
A good illustration of this divide can be seen in Ken Kesey's appearance at a 1965 anti-war rally at Berkeley.
