1968 The Year Of Moral Delinquency

1968 was a very bad year for Western Democracy.Now we have to re-live it as the liberals of the MSM who spent their golden years rioting and causing mayhem on the streets reminisce through their pink tinted spectacles and history gets re written once more.

The students were revolting, the liberal decadence reached its nadir,flower power and hippy loopiness gave way to naked violence and the rise of the Fascist Left seeking to overthrow the compromised democracies of the West through street violence and Marxist agitation in the State funded universities.

Political posturing, 'happenings', demonstrations,gesture politics were the order of the day.Loss of nerve from the Establishment sent signals to the unwashed hippies turned street thugs that they were in with a chance and they pushed their advantage.France nearly fell to the Fascist Left and was saved by De gaule.Communist change agents in the universities funded by Moscow fomented social unrest,the liberals staged a coup at the BBC and promoted their soft Marxism across the airwaves.The only saving grace was perhaps the flowering of creative pop music which served as a backdrop to the general anarchy lending it a roseate hue wholly at odds however, with the stark reality of what was happening on the ground.

Pseudo mysticism was the flavour of the day as embodied by the bizarre figure of the Maharashi exponent of 'Transcendental 'Meditation given prominence by the Beatles.John Lennon became a figurehead for the Peace movement which ammounted to little more than appeasement towards every evil power wishing to destroy the West.We have him to thank for the pop celebrity turned Saviour of Mankind,the 'Geldof Syndrome' which is an egregious legacy indeed.

So 1968 was a very bad year where collective insanity reigned,whole nations lost the plot and almost fell prey to a pan communist tyranny.The idea that it should be celebrated and looked back on with fondness by its architects is frankly depressing and perfectly illustrates how people who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it -ad nauseam.
