Today in counterculture history (09/04) * 1

  • 1980:  Abbie Hoffman surrenders to authorities after 6 years on the run




Quote:

Underground

In 1971, Hoffman published Steal This Book, which advised readers on how to live basically for free. Many of his readers followed Hoffman's advice and stole the book, leading many bookstores to refuse to carry it. He was also the author of several other books, including Vote!, co-written with Rubin and Ed Sanders.  Hoffman was arrested August 28, 1973 on drug charges for intent to sell and distribute cocaine. He always maintained that undercover police agents entrapped him into a drug deal and planted suitcases of cocaine in his office. In the spring of 1974, Hoffman skipped bail, underwent cosmetic surgery to alter his appearance, and hid from authorities for several years.

Some believed Abbie made himself a target. In 1998, Peter Coyote opined:

    The FBI couldn't infiltrate us. We did everything anonymously, and we did everything for nothing, because we wanted our actions to be authentic. It's the mistake that Abbie Hoffman made. He came out, he studied with us, we taught him everything, and then he went back and wrote a book called Free, and he put his name on it! He set himself up to be a leader of the counterculture, and he was undone by that. Big mistake.

Despite being "in hiding" during part of this period (Hoffman lived in Fineview, New York near Thousand Island Park, a private resort on Wellesley Island on the St. Lawrence River under the name "Barry Freed"), he helped coordinate an environmental campaign to preserve the Saint Lawrence River (Save the River organization).  During his time on the run, he was also the "travel" columnist for Crawdaddy! magazine. On September 4, 1980, he surrendered to authorities; on the same date, he appeared on a pre-taped edition of ABC-TV's 20/20 in an interview with Barbara Walters.  Hoffman received a one-year sentence, but was released after four months.

Out of curiosity has anyone here read his book "Steal This Book"? Can you really live for free or is it bullshit?

I've read it but it was quite a while ago. A lot of the info is outdated, like scams that would not work today and so on.

Well, there are still people today who squat in abandoned houses and get their food from dumpsters and stuff like that. A lot of what Hoffman advocated involved theft and fraud etc, but the book is still an interesting read.

There was a site called "Steal this wiki" that attempts to update some of the info in the original book.

Appears the original site is now down but it looks like someone made a backup:

I not only read it, I stole it.

Now you can too...Steal this Book

This was another 'must have' book from the early 70's. The Anarchrist Cookbook
