Used the hippies to promote socialism LOL
Hippies were mostly non-political. People with long hair are not necessarily hippies
Abby and I were friends for a few years before he died in bucks county pa ,, he was funny , sad ,, and brilliant,
You people commenting about this troublemaker, violent, agressive, radical commie like Abbie Hoffman was a terrible SOB man. He may have been a jew hatemonger. I believe he just wanted to get attention from protestors during the 60's critical times, gathering the protests against the Vietnam wars. Let me all remind you that Hoffman and sen dem Sanders from Vermont State were friends, partners. Well, Hoffman may had been in jail few times, then he killed himself.
The god damn machine wants you to smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, buy booner pills, get the best fastest phone , buy ritch man fare and work to pay for the tax whores mansion and steak dinners on Capitol Hill !While trading , wives , Cadillacs , diamonds and things . While letting the masses take the hit using their evangelistic inspired beliefs that the world is at end and that they got to spend all their timr money and life working to keep the cable and the 3 cars to every house and .... All while over 1/3 of the earths total life man included is dying or dead ,at this very moment! All so people can get their next FIX ! Of the capitalists 1% EVIL Barons of the world can live in OBSCENE LUXURY ! And a bunch of misguided so-called revolutionaries idiot trumpers that cant even see or hear all the lies . Think they can steal the Whitehouse with the orange whore mongering fool with a 5000 sq foot gold plated penthouse apartment in the middle of New York can lead them to nirvana. BRAHAHAHAHA! Right On Abby ! WAKE UP AMERIKA!!!

It was Nixon that caused the arrests. The judge violated the sanctity of the court
Rest in pieces
What about the time when Pete Townsend kicked his sorry ass off the Woodstock stage?
The police were found to be the cause of the violence, not Hoffman
yip yip yip yip yip yip yip
Fantastic work!
very instructive video, gave me a whole new perspective on abby after watching the chicago 7 on netflix
"There was this man, given a little talk, and for some reason, he was wearin an american flag for a shirt, and he liked to say the F-word, a lot, F this and F that, and every time he said the F-word, people for some reason, well, they'd cheer" -Forest Gump on Abbie Hoffman
That humanized the little commie for me. Thank you.
Hoffman made the legitimate civil rights movement/anti-war movement look dangerous to the mainstream population as he was actually controlled opposition empowered by the authoritarians. He was a major instigator-actor in creating havoc for the Media and their scripted demonstrations. A con artist/traitor at best.
"The racial conflicts in Ferguson" -- You mean the white supremacy of this entire state and it's fascist guard dogs, the police.
Is anyone here from October 18th, 2020 watching this after watching the Trial of the Chicago 7 on Netflix?
Just finished watching it....interesting fellow indeed.
19th but close 😅
Hi hahahaha
27th
October 30th 😁 too familiar to what is happening in 2020
We need more like Abbie Hoffman, soon.
Well he committed suicide so I worry about that
@@nadiashireensiddiqi At least he let me Steal a Book.✌😎✌
Realize that fame is given, not earned. This was an orchestrated movement to destroy the family values of the 50’s. Hoffman was a lying, actor-scumbag, probably serving Israel.
@@themantheycallboom1353 not even
@@nadiashireensiddiqi Abbie was suicided - murdered.
I was with Abbie and Jerry in 68 in Chicago at the convention, and I saw him in ny in the village st the Electric circus, Abbie has a way to make money easy, he taught me some great bhustles and trjcjs
occupynewparadigm well Abbie and Jerry were my street hippies they know how to get a buck
occupynewparadigm Abbie and Jerry sent kids out with buckets to raise bail money they would get 1.000 and bail out one kid for a hundred then split 450 a peice in there pocket, by the time the convention was CNN over they had a couple grand each
Ooh...and he was a thief too....
IRONY in this video, the opening music by Rolling Stones is now used by TRUMP for his Fascist take over of America at MAGA RALLYS
Were finally fighting back tho!
I wouldnt add un to Orthodox to say different or abnormal. Seeing as Orthodox is a corrupted version of the Greek to Latin word Orthos Doxa which means "The Right Belief" So in essence adding un to orthodox to say unorthodox gives the literally meaning of "The Wrong Belief"
Having lived through these times, Hoffman was a first class Narcissistic Personality. The media made him into a hero. Hoffman was a master at manipulating people and the media. If you want to know what happened ultimately to Abbie - he committed suicide at age 52 in 1989. Be very careful whom you follow!
The fact that he committed suicide is not an indication that he was a bad person, its an indication that he at the time suffered from depression.
Hoffman was bi-polar. very depressed. Too bad he couldn't see his way to get some help.
What does the suicide have to do with anything? Van Gogh, Robin Williams, David Foster Wallace are they all not important people?
Too bad the leftist infiltrated these guys hippie good leftist bad of course there is grey area
all hippies were leftists, what are you talking about
Bad year for America. Hippies burning library cards, Abby Hoffman telling everybody to steal books. I don't judge a man by the length of his hair or the kind of music he listens to. Rock was never my bag. But you put on a pair of shoes when you walk into the New York Public Library, fella.
why put on shoes? let the feet breathe
@@mustardtoast8328 at the library?
@@mistervacation23 yes! how are you gonna learn if you don't feel comfortable?
@@mustardtoast8328 ok then
what makes you think telling him to put on shoes, would make him want to put on shoes
The war in Viet FUCKIN nam!!!
Abbie Hoffman spawned a generation of dumb people who do and say whatever they want. Demand rights for whatever they want. Get bored and protest for whatever they want. Demand respect and justice for public sex and drug use. I just wish I could have been there at Woodstock when Pete Townshend knocked him off the stage with his guitar.
Great job! Finally, someone who gets it.
These... people, are the ones who are teaching your children today its no wonder why university standards have fallen
A traitor & a clown, but never boring.
They scrambled to pick up $1 bills off the floor? Jes talk about sold your soul. What's the point in life after you find yourself in that situation?
That's wallstreet for ya...
Rip Abbie.Lets stir up some more shit people.
a great, heroic, cultural and political phenomenon. Helped end the war. Helped usher in the New Age. Helped us to look beyond material values.
Please, What did the video say 3:45? IE 'With the politically ???man ?ap'? TY.
"politically driven left with the hippies' counter-cultural values"
@@Dave-ol7cc TY very much. At the time I just could not get what was being said. It makes sense now after reading your comment. SO TY.
No I take that back. The Court case was the apex of his theatrics.
NAW, THIS WAS MAINSTREAM TOO.
Paul Michael Glaser a.k.a abbie Hoffman...Michael Glaser..where's abbie?
There was nothing individualistic about being a part of the "counter - culture". It was as much a fashion as the mullet was in the 80's. It didn't last because the movement was full of hot air, and , again, fashion.
Oh but it did last. Where do you think we got Obama and Hillary? Sure they looked more mainstream, but had the same underlying agenda to subvert and destroy the nation and lead it into Fabian socialism.
Exactly, they were entertainment only, no one took them seriously for long.
Who taught you that? If you weren't there, please be quiet.
@@ElixerSue How cute. Someone believes you must live in an era to have a perspective... I didn't live during the Holocaust but I'm pretty sure it was evil. Eye roll...
@@texasray5237 thank you for making me laugh
He was a bum.
Abbie, RIP, did not "lead" us. That is just medias only way to deal with things, every social movement must have leaders and followers because that's all they know. Sorry. Not what was going on. Abbie was the face, the voice, because he was good at it and gave the media what they needed to get us in mainstream media. He did not devise a way to get hippies into revolutionary politics, we were there, the State did that. He rode the wave and was a good organizer, as were Anita, Paul Krassner, and all the other initial Yippie organizers. We were a movement that did not feel the need to argue consensus with FBI plants (as destroyed Occupy), did not need someone telling us what we all knew was had in common. You may never understand this, you needed to LIVE it. Abbie Hoffman was a focal point and an inspiration, he was the lightening rod. No more no less.
There were no leaders, just ideas shared. Flowers in guns was beyond brilliant. And became an iconic picture, which did fit the tone of the day. Hoffman was in the 60s, what Milo could be today, Milo does the message well. But he does it without drugs.Not As crazy... I might be wrong, it takes a big clap to get people's attention.
I read his books and thought he was onto something. But like so many ideas, his have turned terribly wrong. The same type of affluent kids are still brainwashed and dancing in the streets in their silly ISIS costumes.
I don't think Abbie served any prison time at all because of being found guilty. I believe he and others spend time in prison during the trial...I guess because they wouldn't give him bail or something.
abboe hoffman was murdered.
another FBI sponsored "suicide"
That is my suspicion as well. He was quoted as saying CIA made their murdered targets look like suicides.
lol hippie bum

Anyone could change the world, before Abbie Hoffman. And anyone can change the world, after Abbie Hoffman. The people against Communism actually agreed with Hoffman's individualist stance, that the individual has rights. That is what our U.S. Constitution stands for - individual freedom, not Communism. So Abbie Hoffman was protesting -- nothing. What he **was** doing was making theatre, absurdist theater that upper middle class students could participate in. They always had rights, before Hoffman and after. And let me tell you a secret: there is no counterculture. There is only the underbelly of society masquerading as counterculture. You will find this out.
brilliant!!
Excellent comment. Hoffman had an idealistic message that he preached, but behind it there was nothing- nihilism, maybe, but I suspect not even that. It was self-indulgent theatre masquerading as activism and it accomplished little. Reading the writings of Hoffman and Rubin at the time reveal this- they were full of idealised depictions of communist and Marxist ideals (particularly Luxemburgism and Maoism)... as well as yearnings for a stripped-down anarchistic libertine individualism. It was all totally contradictory, a very confused, immature message. The worst aspect of all of this is that groups like the Yippies and the SDS - and the New Left as a whole - provided the foundations on which two of the worst aspects of the late 20th & early 21st century were built: neoliberalism, and 'SJWs.' Rubin in the '80s talked openly about how his Yippie ideals evolved naturally into support for neoliberalism, and he was not alone- most neoliberals in politics and the media grew out of the New Left. Those New Left/counterculture figures who embedded themselves in academia also helped train the new generation of campus radicals who are even more psychotic with their myopic obsession with race and identity politics. SJWs are the retarded bastard child of the '60s counterculture, without any of the misguided good intentions. It's time for a radical conservative counterculture to undo the long-term damage that the Left of the '60s and '70s unleashed on us today.
JAFdolls Abbie Hoffman was the unorganized voice, of a multimillion base of young adults and kids simply wanting the VN war over. Saying what we couldn't articulate, what he didn't actually do in words. He used actions. Some good, some a bit less. These were halcyon days of drugs. Hoffman was wild and undisciplined. And I can say this, because its my history. I didn't learn it, I lived it. I had the front row seat. Abbie Hoffman stirred the pot, he does what 4chan does today. Milo is a bit like him, only much more articulate. A bit more class. A bit less acid.
@@guidadiehl9176 you must be a nazi MAGAt who likes seeing pro-trump cops brutalize black people....I hope your city burns and all the racists and hard right bastards in it cook extra crispy
There was a big gap between Hippies and Radicals that the musicians and Yippies really helped bring together.
That they did!
Bring together???? In physical proximity maybe. In appearance maybe. But beyond that, the dynamics are not really a coming together. Let's leave musicians out of the equation for the moment. Most long haired musicians (including myself) were real hippies. Sincere about wanting peace and love and all that. And most hippies were real hippies too. But not all, by any means. But when you get down to "radicals" there are all sorts of weird variables. So many, and so weird, that it's really impossible to make any true generalizations. As for the yippies in particular, they were skilled at infiltration, and at influencing and eventually taking control over others. But that's not the same thing as "bringing together". It's more like vampires who are always looking to draw others into their world, but then they put an end to the world of their victims. That's not really coming together. If you let yippies into your group, pretty soon it's their group and its gone all weird and dark and evil.
RIP Abbie. Thanks for all you did and the memories. You were one incredibly funny bright and innovative guy
His intelligence combined with his sense of comedy was "out of sight." RIP
Who sadly killed himself
