much of the hippie movement was the nucleus of modern America's woke culture,
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.
