yeah but so what? so what if they sold out? so they acted differently in a
non-revolutionary period than in a revolutionary period. what the hell were
they supposed to do, join the spartacist league? Rubin throwing dollar bills
onto the floor of the stock exchange producing a riot of people scurrying
for them was a great moment. it's still a great moment even if he went on to
become a broker himself.
facutal problems: abbie hoffman was an activist to the end. he committed
suicide. tom hayden was never a republican congressman.

As for Jerry Rubin, where is he now? I read in the newspaper about ten years
ago that he died in a car accident. So where is he now? He was a
wizenheimer, a wise guy.
Jerry Rubin died a stockbroker on Wall Street. He was the founder of the
yuppie movement. You should see the movie called Twenty Years Later, or as
the original French title goes, Ils l'ont tant aimi, la rivolution. It's
about Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman and all those guys from the sixties. It
was filmed by Daniel Cohn Bendit. It's interesting to see what those guys
were doing twenty years after 1968. Pierre Vallihres the founder of the FLQ
died a Franciscan monk who was nevertheless in a pacifist group. We know how
Jane Fonda ended up,. filthy rich and making exercise videos. One guy ended
up writing recipe books and running for mayor of Chicago. Tom Hayden ended
up a Republican Congressman for California. Fuck these people.
They're all dead anyways. They were dead before they started.
