The 1960s revolution was both anarchic and nihilist. But it was waged against—not from—the establishment. Hippies and the Left either attacked institutions or, in Timothy Leary fashion, chose to “ turn on, tune in, drop out ” from them.
The current revolution is much different—and far more dangerous—for at least three reasons. The Establishment Is the Revolution
The current Left has no intention of “dropping out.” Why would it?
It now controls the very institutions of America that it once mocked and attacked—corporate boardrooms, Wall Street, state and local prosecuting attorneys, most big-city governments, the media, the Pentagon, network and most of cable news, professional sports, Hollywood, music, television, K-12 education, and academia.
In other words, the greatest levers of influence and power—money, education, entertainment, government, the news, and popular culture—are in the hands of the Left. They have transformed legitimate debate over gay marriage into a hate crime. Transgenderism went from a modern manifestation of ancient transvestism or gender dysphoria to a veritable litmus test of whether one was good or evil.
Students have no need to jam administrators’ offices because the latter, themselves, are as radical as the protestors and often lead them on in a top-down fashion. Had they […]

Great article and good to see Prof. Hanson FINALLY gets it!!!
I would comment at AmericanGreatness site but 90% of my comments, especially in the vein of Prof. Hanson’s article, have been deleted in the past. (Weird, huh???)
Anarchy, totalitarian rule, law = non-prosecutable crimes!
This nation is soooo over —- commies referred to as “activists” and “liberals” and “progressives” —– NEGATIVE. If your mommy is a commie, chances are you live in America!
Generals and Admirals warning of war while Maoist thought indoctrination and proper pronoun usage is taught at US military academies, the military in general and adult sex education taught to pre-schoolers!
But then Hanson ruins his article with:
” . . . none of the old conspiracy theories about Anaconda Copper, ITT, or the Rockefellers.”
Sorry, Hanson, but 1940s congressional investigations proved the Rockefellers sold oil/gas to the Third Reich through Spain and Switzerland during World War II —- and that’s only one of a thousand incriminating FACTS against them — a little scholarship goes a long way!
“Today, there is hardly a Democratic president, ex-president, or presidential candidate who is not a multi-multimillionaire—most by leveraging their heightened political profile.”
Sorry, Hanson, but the amount a president raises for their “presidential libraries” equates to the increase of their NET WORTH within one to two years of exiting the White House —– the PAYOFF! A little scholarship goes a long way!
Et cetera . . .
“John Kerry lectures us on climate change from his private jet . . .”
John FORBES Kerry!
“Al Gore screams about the evils of carbon emissions—after pocketing $100 million by selling his failed and worthless cable station to smoky and sooty Qatar, fronting for the antisemitic Al Jazeera.”
Al iGore made $300 million peddling useles and phony CARBON PERMITS —- even more egregious!
” . . we take seriously the lectures on microaggressions from the Duchess of Montecito.”
Only applies to your crowd, Hanson!
This sentence is the gist of his article, though . . .
“So, the current revolution is anarchy, utter confusion, pure chaos.”
