It is amazing how much of the hate America rhetoric on this site can be
traced right back to Fromm and his fellow travelers. Yes, the flower
children of the sixties, who Pirsig rightfully condemned for their
stupidity and immorality, are alive and well and still trying to spread
their Marxist collectivist theories in the name of love. Must be that
Cuban paradise under Fidel that holds a strange attraction.
Gerhard:
I was pretty certain that Pirsig criticised the flower generation because
they tried to perform a revolution against both society and intellectuality,
ending up with only dynamic qualities and biological values, and not with
the intellectual ideas they had (or which they in fact did not have at all).
Also, if I remember correctly, Pirsig mentioned that Anarchism, and not
Marxism, was the most popular politic with the hippies. I'm too young to
know myself, but so say the words ....
Gerhard, a leftist who love America (with a few exceptions :-)
