... "ward heeling hack" kinda resounded with me after I read it in '72. I stayed with the SDS and the only election I didn't vote in was '68.
I was reading 'Revolution for the Hell of It' and 'Steal This Book', 'Fuck the System', the Port Huron Statement.
From Abbie Hoffman:
'Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself, in all cases, as the ages and generations which preceded it. Man has no property in man, neither has any generation a property in the generations which are to follow.'"
"You are talking to a leftist. I believe in the redistribution of wealth and power in the world. I believe in universal hospital care for everyone. I believe that we should not have a single homeless person in the richest country in the world. And I believe that we should not have a CIA that goes around overwhelming governments and assassinating political leaders, working for tight oligarchies around the world to protect the tight oligarchy here at home."
