- Abstract
The article offers the author's perspectives about the year 1968 as one of the most troubled years in the history of the modern left politics in the U.S. and Western Europe. He said that it is very tempting to consider 1968 as a repetition of 1848 where radical movements of the young were made daring, all were crushed and defeated, and the defeats ushered in a long period of left retrenchment and conservative triumph. In addition, most activists shed their ultrarevolutionary illusions and began the long march through cultural and social institutions that advocated by German radical Rudi Dutschke.
