Surreal tbh, 1968 in the US was an abject failure leading to 2 decades straight of a rightwards shift in American politics and the left transitioning from the new deal and great society to a useless study circle it just recently recovered from.

These kids literally studied the Columbia archives from 1968, they reached out to protest vets, and now they are occupying the same buildings they did. Read our piece from last week on how the Columbia protesters are taking inspiration from 1968.
