The active youth of that time were "simultaneously non-violent, violent, pacifist, bellicist, market-minded, plan-minded, authoritarian, anti-authoritarian, chauvinistic, feminist, Maoist, Trotskyist, Stalinist, spontaneist, social democratic, liberal..." The later lives of those who are still labelled as '68ers are just as heterogeneous.
The impact of the 1968 generation is overestimated, paradoxically singapore rcs data by both extreme positions.
Marx's talk of being and consciousness applies here too. It was not the 1968 generation that made the era, the era made the 1968 generation. It is a fact that the world changed fundamentally in a very short space of time. Nothing illustrates this better than the two votes on women's suffrage in Switzerland. In 1959 the proposal was rejected by a two-thirds majority, and in 1971 it was passed by the same proportion.
The awakening of the 1960s made the world more open, and that is a good thing.
